Mums who have had kids before, when did your children start playing properly with a play kitchen? I just wondered what age they really started playing. I bought one in the sale recently & thought I’d hold on to it until next year for 2nd Birthday, but do you think my little girl would like it before then? Is 2 too l...

Hello, sorry if this turns into a long post! I have a phone appt with the paediatrician on Monday but I just wanted to hear some other experiences of poop 💩 My LG was put on SMA Althera after presenting with blood in her stool at 3 weeks old. Everything was great and improved, she was doing 2 poops a day of quite…

What nail clippers are we using on our wee ones? We haven't cut our wee boy's nails in ages and i think we'll be there for ages with the electric nail trimmer!

What does you little one love to play with now they’re getting older and ‘baby’ toys are less interesting for them? I’m about to transition toys out and would love some recommendations as to what to get next!

My baby is 5 mo and we have started combo feeding at 4 months. He has been having aptamil advanced and first it was fine. He didn’t reject it and he didn’t spit it up. But for the last week or so he’s been throwing up when we feed him formula, he’s had a rash all over his belly and arms and his poo smells really fi...

That throws up a lot 😩🥺 baby throwing up a lot !!

I have been trying to get my son circumcised for the last two months and have no luck! Those who have gotten their son this procedure where did you go through? It seems like no one does it anymore. Swedish wants to wait until he’s 6 months but I feel like that’s so late 😭

My baby is 5 weeks and he’s been struggling to poo. I know it’s probably normal for them to be constipated but it’s how uncomfortable and sad he is with it. He’s straining so hard to poo and pass wind all the time and he gets really upset. Only lactulose will help but I don’t want to keep giving it to him all the ti...

My 6wk old will feed like normal (sitting abit more upright to help with digestion) and then about 10 mins later he’ll scream out of nowhere on pain and nothing will settle him, we have tried everything colief, infacol, grip water, baby hot water bottle, we’re starting to think it could be a milk allergy, he doesn’t...

So my son started weaning this week and has been really struggling to poo the last 2 days or so, he’s currently passed out on me after screaming and straining with from what I can tell (and smell) very little success😔 I know prunes are good for helping with bowel movements but is there anything else I can do? Going…

My 3 month old is starting to bring up his feeds. He has never done it before. I’ve slowed down the feeding incase he was drinking his bottle too fast, I’ve winded him extra times and I keep him propped up after his bottle. Sometimes it could be an hour later and he will bring up his feed. Could this be reflux? Cou...

Hi what are some bath seats people are using? My baby is super wriggly and throws her head and neck back and side to side so it’s not safe for me to Hold her but she’s not sitting up either so can’t use a normal bath seat. She is 7kg. Thank you

So my nearly 4 year old was “in an altercation” is what the school said at nursery which meant she now has a cut on her forehead just above her brow bone from a pair of scissors. I have put a steri strip on the minimise the scarring. Question is what should I be saying at parents evening on Monday. I’m not sure ho...

This may sound TMI but are your little ones now ‘popping’ normal I.e a stool? My little one is on 3 meals, morning&bedtime bottle but her poos are always runny. When we first weaned she had a stage of having more expected stools but not anymore. This is regardless of what we feed her so don’t suspect allergy etc but...

Hiya. So I'm asking this for a friend. Her baby boy I think is 9 weeks now and he's been badly colic since birth. He's gotten worse and really poorly with it and it pretty much only sleeping with her or on her. They've tried coleif, infacol, just started giving him paracetamol as recommend by the hospital and ...

my baby has projectile vomited 3 times in the space of 2 hours . shoukd i contact 111?

Curious when do you set up a playpen or mat area for baby to use. I got one as a gift and I am conflicted it whether to use it since I’ve read someone refer to it as a baby jail and not sure when is best to use it.

Hello, i got a text to say I have a health visitor appointment. I am currently 27+3 and my appt is sometime in november when i am around 32 weeks. What should i expect during this appointment? Has anyone else been referred? Thanks x

So I'm pretty sure I broke my foot. Money is beyond tight and I really can't afford to go to the doctors. What can they even do for a broken foot? It's very painful and my baby is in the don't sit down stage rn so I'm just constantly on it 😭 what can I do? Any advice is appreciated.

My little one keeps getting constipated a lot and I give prune pouches and plums but is there anything else I can give to keep her regular?
