Hey moms!! Have any of you had a spinal surgery or back surgery? What was your experience with pregnancy and delivery? Did you see a special doctor?

Hi , My friends decided that her 1yr old won’t receive any vaccinations (she watched a documentary about it). Im fully vaccinated and so is my 2yr old. Im starting to worry that I shouldn’t see them while I’m pregnant and set different visiting rules for them when the baby arrives. Has anyone else been in a simil...

My little boy is 3 in December Do we wait for a code in the post like the 15 hours? I’ve already confirmed my account a few weeks ago and don’t reconfirm until January now With his 15 hours we were right on the cusp and had to wait for a temporary code Any advice welcome! Thanks 🙏

Has anyone waited until their 6week appointment to take a bath or did you take one before your 6week appointment? I had a vaginal birth and a 1degree tear. I’m 5 weeks postpartum but my appointment is 2 weeks away. I’ve been wanting to take a bath so bad due to these postpartum body aches. I can’t remember if my doc...

If you were the victim of a crime, would you probably feel safe calling the police for help?

What bath seat are you using for your one year old? I’ve been using the Summer bath seat, but my daughter’s legs are too long and I have to awkwardly bend her to get her in or out. TIA!

Has anyone had their child's tongue tie divided? If so, how long until feeding was good? I've definitely seen improvements (been 10 days) but I still need to hold breast in place or it falls out, clicking sound during feeds due to taking in air and misshapen nipple after feed. Could this still get better or should i...

My baby’s 2 month appointment is coming and he is getting his shots. Tips & suggestions? I plan on nursing him during or after for sure. Thanks!

Baby has just poked during bf, do I unlatch and change her or carry on?

Busy crazy day with my newborn and I forgot to eat. Only pumped 4oz this afternoon. One bad day doesn't mean a bad supply does it?

Hello mamas. First time mama here, and worried. My son (who will be 18 months this month) I guess slipped on a straw with his socks on and my sister said he hit the corner of his eye on the corner of her table. Does it look deep enough for stitches? Everyone has said no. But i’m worried.

First time mum here and currently 15 weeks. The midwife started discussing all the vaccinations that they suggest baby to have once here. I’m not sure how I feel on all of them and not sure if baby will need them all? What’s peoples thoughts on it… I’m stuck between two minds because my mum never gave us any vaccina...

My baby poo it’s been green smelly and diarrhoea and she doesn’t fancy the taste of it we struggle with every feed although we started her on this formula few days ago so I’m hoping her tummy settles . Anyone have similar experience? Does your baby settled on cmpa milk ?

We have our appointment tomorrow, has anyone else had theirs yet? What should I expect? How long will it last? I’ve filled in the questionnaires etc in preparation already. Thanks!

When we first had LO we used the angel care bath support and upgraded to the angel care bath seat when he started to sit (around 7 months). He has recently started screaming in the bath and looking to be a bit uncomfortable in between his legs I think due to the design of the seat. The small strip of plastic that se...

My 4month old son poops only once a 4-5days. I contacted parentsline and they adviced to try not to use Tommy Tippe prep machine. Has anyone heard that this actually helped to improve baby's constipation? I'm going to try it but it's such a time consuming process so want to have a hope🤣

My little one never seems to have consistently solid poo’s. She might have a day or two where they are like a ‘normal human poo’ but 90% of the time they are still like baby poo’s (softener, runnier, cover the entire nappy sort of thing) is this normal or should she be mainly having solid like log poo’s now at 19 mo...

Do we give calpol before or after baby’s injections? We have ours tomorrow and I’m dreading it

These jabs have truly knocked my girl for six! Has anyone else’s babes been the same? 😭
