NHS care review meeting

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 💕

12 week vaccinations

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?

Signs of colic or formula intolerance

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.

9 month old ate her poop

I layed her down for a nap and when I walked in to get her up she was naked, she had taken her diaper off and was covered in poop. Her hands were dirty as well as her mouth. I read on Google it happens and it is harmless. Today she has diarrhea and it’s stinky. Otherwise she’s eating well, playing and seems fine. Sh...

Constipation!

My 8mo girl hasn’t pooped in like 4 days. She just started really liking solids but we are still breastfeeding majority of the time. Yesterday I have her green beans, brussel sprouts and two prunes along with a bit of water. Still no poop! She doesn’t seem uncomfortable but I’m wondering when I should worry.

Baby poo smelling of vinegar

My baby has had very loose nappies for about a week, doing 7-10 poos a day / night. I’ve put it down to teething as there have been teeth coming through. However this morning his poo smelt strongly of vinegar and he has a temperature as well. Just wondered if anyone else has experienced this?
