My 4 week old son seems to be getting what I think is an upset tummy. When I put him down for a sleep, he will wake crying, arching his back and stretching out his legs. It takes a lot to try and settle him. He has been passing a lot of wind that has been quite smelly so wondering if he is struggling to poo! Has any...

I was recommended this app squeeze by my midwife at the beginning of the pregnancy which I have been doing regularly since then. Do they help with recovery? Does anyone has any experience with doing these exercises and help them with the recovery of their private parts.🫢

Did anyone get their little one circumcised yet how did it go? What should i expect or look out for?

Hello! My LG is getting more active but gets bored quickly. We have some sensory toys suitable from birth, books, baby gym and rocker.. there’s quite a few that’s great for 6m+ but not yet so I wondered if anyone have suggestions or recommendations that works for you at this age?

How was everyone’s little ones after their 12 week jags. The nurse said she will unlikely get a fever. She has been hotter than usual and I’ve given her some calpol. She just won’t let me put her down and is sleeping a lot more.

I need advice! My little lady (6months) is constipated, she has started weaning 1 meal a day for 5 days now, also been gradually changing from expressed booby milk to formula, the last 2 days she's been pooping pebbles of clay like poop, she refuses to drink any water during her meal time and is still having her usu...

At the moment I’m putting her in a Moses basket or on her changing mat but she will outgrow her Moses basket soon and wondering what would be a good thing to put her in or on when that time comes. Any good suggestions from anyone? Also, I’m looking into a jigsaw play mat for her when she starts moving around. Has an...

I originally had a letter about a healthcare visitor coming to my home to discuss pregnancy.. however i phoned and told them id moved house outside of their zone. They said they would contact the relevant team and someone would be in touch. I haven’t had anyone contact me about this since, but recently had a phone c...

Are you supposed to get another health visitor visit when your child is 2? My child turns 2 In September but ive not been contacted

Just wondered how your babies react to doing a poo? My girl overnight had an absolute explosion (poor thing) probably her worst poo ever in 15 months. She had on occasion through the night made 2 seconds of sound like a quick whimper but has been doing that due to teething. So of course to get her up this morning an...

My NB is 2 weeks and he seems to be in pain everytime he wants to fart. He also struggles to burp. Any advice on how to ease the pain for him or help him burp.

What’s everyone’s opinions on this? Who’s having/had it? I really want it to protect little one but just very nervous about it

Has anyone been to GP about their baby vomiting after feeds and actually been given any good advice? Because he's still gaining weight and no sign of dehydration I worry they'll just say it's normal and he'll grow out of it but it's relentless. I'm constantly having to change his clothes, bedsheets soaked daily, soa...

Hi 👋 I am CONVINCED that my baby has CMPA but the doctors keep on saying she doesn’t and don’t recommend me changing the formula as she is settled on this one… not being sick, no reflux etc. however she has yellow mucous poop every time she feeds. She’s not groggy or in any pain although she has a sore bum from…

My newborn is mega windy at night and I am struggling! In the day time she burps/farts just fine and is hardly windy. At night we get to about 1am and she starts grunting really loudly and rolling around because she’s uncomfortable! I then burp her for hours in all different positions and get no where until the tini...

My baby is almost 10 months and was born with a lot of hair. I’ve trimmed it a few times since he has gotten older and it’s growing longer instead of fuller. But now I’m wondering if I need to start thinking of actual haircuts to get him used to it being cut? Does anyone have recommendations on when you started ac...

Baby will be 2 weeks old tomorrow and is becoming very unsettled due to colic like symptoms… she is breastfed (not sure if that’s relevant)- any suggestions that have worked are welcomed! 🥴😌

Is this okay?! Or should I be concerned? He’s only ever gone 1 day without pooping, on two occasions. But never 2 days…

Hi ladies, my three month old son has a tongue tie and as he’s bottle fed he isn’t being referred by our HV. However I’m still concerned it’s causing him problems feeding, gagging and choking almost on his bottle. Does anyone have experience in getting their little one’s tongue tie done privately? If so, where did y...
