Anyone else’s LO suddenly decided they hate even the sight of water? We tried and bailed on bathtime two nights in a row now, but can’t get LO to go near the bath. He just climbs up me and gets really really upset. Now this morning if I put him down or even look like I’m going to put him down he gets very upset fast...

Baby is chewing on his hands so much it makes him gag?? He threw up a little this morning as a result ! What do I do??

This is a long one so stick with me here 🙃 From birth my son was breastfed but I wasn’t producing enough milk which led to him dropping 12% of his birth weight at his 5 day midwife check, I was sent to see the paediatric who advised topping him up on formula until my milk came in which it never did so eventually…

My baby has not pooped since sunday morning. He’s not in pain and he’s still passing gas. I’m going to call the pediatrician when they open this morning to see what they say but anybody have any ways to try and get him to poop. Please dear god don’t say bicycle kicks. Lil dude has probably done the Tour de France wi...

My son has his 1 year jabs today, did anyone else's little one get poorly after theirs ?

Hiya my baby is 6 weeks old and has not had the best of luck to his start of life. At the moment he’s got RSV and bronchiolitis which we’re struggling with. And also two hernias which need surgery to be fixed. They told me at the hospital that it can be painful for him at times and he just sometimes looks like he’s ...

My little one is about 3 1/2 months and has begun spitting up a lot more in the last few days. It used to be almost never, and today it was 6+ times. He still seems to be in a pretty good mood, and is still peeing and pooping like normal. Is this normal? When should I be concerned?

Looking for stories from people who’ve had their baby’s tongue tie released… how old were they? How bad was the tongue tie? Did it help feeding significantly once it was released? Do you wish you did anything differently? Was the procedure really rough? TIA! 😢❤️

Hi mama’s - my 5 month baby for the last few weeks has started to only poop every 5 days or so. Prior to this he’d have at least 2 poops a day and all of a sudden it’s changed to once every 5 days or so. He seems fine in himself / but I’m worried as this doesn’t seem normal?? He’s exclusively breastfed… any one else...

Constipation My 6 week old son hasn't had a dirty nappy since Monday morning and is really unsettled and in obvious pain. He's squirming and goes bright red. I've tried the bicycle thing with his legs but still nothing..... (He was premature so still behaving like a newborn too)

Am l okay to give my son calpol for his 8 week immunisations. He turns 8 weeks tommorrow and l know calpol is from 2 months. He was born on the 15th of august so technically he isnt 2 months until next week on the 15th. Can l still give him some?

Shes 2 months old and I just found that in her diaper She’s breastfed and eat whenever she wants

My 1 year old daughter was in the kitchen and the bottom bit of the cupboard fell on her fingers! She cried out in pain for about 5 minutes but is now okay and asleep this was about 2 hours ago. I’m sure it will heal on its own but wouldn’t mind some more opinions as I’m worried it’s really saw for her!! Thank you x

Those of you who do a bath as part of a peaceful bedtime routine, how do you make it peaceful? We currently only bath her 1-2 times per week, because although she seems to enjoy the bath... Or is at least quiet, as soon as we take her out of the bath and wrap her in a towel she screams bloody murder until she is fu...

At what time and how often do you bath your baby?

I am entailed to the flu jab every year due to a weak immune system. However this year they want to know if you are breastfeeding as there isn’t any research done on this new version on the impact it has on newborns! Has anyone had the flu jab and found it all okay? Or has anyone done research on it? Thanks xx

Hi everyone, I had my baby almost 3 months ago, and my hair is still very long. I would like to cut it before I start losing it. Does anyone know of a place where I could cut and donate hair for a good cause in the Sacramento area?
