Poo increase?
My nearly 6 month old has suddenly gone from pooing every few days to about 6/7 times a day! Not diarrhoea or doesn’t seem poorly in himself. Has this happened to anyone else?! Don’t know if it’s normal or not but I’m going through a lot more nappies that’s for sure 🤣
Constipation
LB pood today after 3 days. He has just started solids so it was … different. Smellier and not runny/soft like before. He struggled to poo. Is anyone else having this problem? Any tips?
Baby sick what to do
She’s 6 months and had explosive diarrhea and rectal temp 38. 1 C. What should I do and what could it be :(
Toddler bloating
Is it normal for my toddler to have such a bloated belly all the time? He’s had it since being a tiny baby. His belly seems a bit disproportionate to the rest of his body. He’s also got eczema & cradle cap still, just wondering if these symptoms could be caused by something else

Hi my little girl has recently started to cry and scream when burped to the point she cries herself to sleep 🥺. She is nearly 7 WO and is on 4oz. Any tips to help with this? Some feeds she does throw up
Nonstop spit up
Baby girl is now 7 months old and we are still dealing with regular spit up. This isn’t just a dribble, it’s a large amount. She doesn’t seem to be bothered by it, but I’m kind of at my wit’s end. The doctor prescribed Pepcid which she has been taking twice daily for months. We’ve tried all different kinds of formul...

9-12 month check
Has anyone chosen not to attend the 9-12 month check up for their baby? This is my second and I’ve never found the health visitors helpful, their advice is always a bit outdated.
HV 1 year checks
Little one is 11 months, but I haven't heard from the health visitor about the 1 year checks, should I have by now? Just wondering what the norm is in Portsmouth. Thank you x
Constipation
So this is a weird one but my baby seems only able to poop while in her car seat. She has not pooped outside of her car seat since she was tiny. This means she can go days between poops but often as soon as we get in the car, she will start straining and crying until eventually she's able to go. We've been to a doct...
Baby has not pooped for 3 days - advice?
Baby is a week old and was pooing several times per day for the first few days of his life. For the past 3 days he has not pooped at all. I think he may have an upset tummy as his farts have been smelly and we sometimes hear his tummy rumbling/ making noises. Not sure what to do at this point as information online...
HV checks
LO will be 11 months old tomorrow, but we still haven't heard from the HV about when they will visit. Should I be contacting them?
If your baby tested high blood lead levels at their 1 or 2 year dr appointment what did you have to do?

Anyone else’s child been offered this? Just received a call from the doctor about my son having it as he’s got a heart condition so puts him more at risk. Yet it’s up on the air if he can have the spray due to complications it may cause. But we are only happy for him to have the spray. He sees his consultant in Febr...
