Anyone found that their baby’s poops are more green and runny/mucousy on trimethoprim?

Our 8 week old has always been very fussy, during and after feeds she is quite squirmy. I’ve always felt she looks like she has a tummy ache and is often unsettled and upset. I’ve always put down to colic but wondered if she has cmpa? Going to doctors today and any advice appreciated. She is currently on kendamil wi...

We then switched him to enfamil nutramigen and he is vomiting pretty much nonstop since we started him on it yesterday , ...

My LO used to strain to poo and fart constantly as a newborn. He's now started doing it again, albeit not as badly, at nearly 4 months?? Has anyone had the same? Why would this come on again? How can I help??

Hi, I’m a new mama and my 3 and a half week baby has recently started spitting up after every feed, I try to keep him upright after feeding and burp in between feeds, is there something that could be causing this? Or is it normal

My 3 month old is constantly constipated. We've tried 5ml-10ml cool boiled water before feeding on anyone from the Dr, coloxyl drops which made her scream in pain, actilax (lactulose) which the Dr suggested after coloxyl drops didn't work, she's on probiotics daily, tummy massages, bicycle legs and warm baths. She...

My LO has his first jabs tomorrow. He was poorly when he was 8 weeks so we have had to wait until now that he is 10 and a half weeks. I am so worried about how he will be afterwards. What should I expect and how long does it last?

Any suggestions or advice for colic? Our little girl is five weeks and we are absolutely going through it. She’s totally inconsolable. Yesterday she cried in segments from midnight until 15:00 and tonight she cried from 20:00 until now. We literally were so distressed that we had to leave her in another room for 15 ...

My baby is now 13 weeks. Has been crying everyday for an hour around 5-6 pm and it seemed like started to die down but it’s back.. He’s on formula and has been very gassy since birth but doc keeps saying its just colics, or growth spurt or leap as if there’s nothing to do… i’m honestly desperate. My instinct tells m...

Hi! My baby scratches her chest whenever we get her undressed. Usually if we give her a toy to hold or sometimes we put socks over her hands so that she can’t scratch. She has eczema and is being treated with some creams. Anyway, when it comes to bath time, it’s hard to stop her scratching so again we put socks on h...

We had to postpone 1 year jabs as we were on holidays. To be fair though, I am absolutely petrified to do those jabs because last time we ended up being admitted to the hospital ward after accuse reaction to the vaccine. I am so scared the same will happen again and at the same time feeling guilty that we haven’t do...

Anyone else have a baby always constipated despite adequate fruit and veg intake and good water intake??? Or any tips on how to deal with this?

My little one is 5 months and very rarely goes for a poo, maybe once/ twice a week. Anyone else got a similar experience with this….

What is the longest your EBF baby has gone without a poo?

Tried lots of different things to help my 4 week old baby with acid reflux as it’s causing her lots of pain as the acid is coming up and she’s swallowing it down or being sick. Shes been on gaviscon that made her constipated, and omaprezole which made her really sick, but seen a few people mention goats milk helped ...

Hi everyone. I have a care review meeting on Friday regarding the loss of my baby boy and I really don’t know what to expect. Has anyone gone through this? What should I expect to hear/find out? The thought of it is making me quite anxious. Any help would be appreciated 💕

I have my LOs 12 week vaccinations this week, albeit it a week late, and I am dreading it. I know they have to be done but my heart can’t take putting my LO through that pain and seeing them cry. Did anyone else feel like this? Does anyone have any tried and tested methods for easing the pain / stress for my LO?

Hey. What were peoples first signs and symptoms of their little one having colic or formula intolerance? I’m not sure if my little one is struggling with either one. I am going to phone the gp tomorrow to make an appointment to check.. I just feel guilty that I’m possibly causing him to suffer without realising

So my lo is constipated and has been for quite some time, we’ve tried laxido (too painful for her), lactulose - didn’t seem to do anything, all the p’s (pear,prune,plum etc), cut out dairy and gluten (in case of allergy) She doesn’t eat overly well at home - eats everything at nursery - will only eat vegetables if...
