Silent treatment from 111
I called 111 9 hours ago about my 8 week old son. I was told I would receive a call back, but I’m still waiting up for it. Is this normal? They told me to call back if symptoms get worse- they haven’t gotten worse, but I was expecting support by now. At this rate I may as well get an appointment with our regular GP.

Helping LO Poo - any top tips?
My baby has been struggling to get something out, she is passing wind just fine and doing the odd shart 😅 but when I change her nappy she is clenching and tiny bits of poop are flying out, but it’s like she can’t relax enough to pass something. She is very calm in herself, no crying, so maybe it’s not an issue. She…
