Baby boy is 4 weeks old and has always been really good with his bottles (I exclusively pump). But now all of a sudden he seems super hungry, wolfs them down while spitting it out, cries for more and then is sick afterwards. Is this normal? Is he having a growth spurt or something? It's just a bit distressing as it ...

My little ones poop has been green in colour the past couple of days, I’ve read online it could be due to too much foremilk. I switch breasts while feeding and have done for a while now however I read this could possibly be the cause of the green poop. Has anyone else experienced this? I thought it was quite normal...

Any mums that given birth before and has had pethidine please tell me your experience with it, And if you'd recommend it🥰

Okay, am I weird for asking my fiance to sit in the bathroom with me during my LOs bath? He helped me maybe 2 times when she was little and I was healing but I wish it was a “family play time” when it can be. She’s one now and does so much during bath time, I want him to be a part of it and see her play when he’s no...

My baby has been constipated, pooping but not fully like usual. She has been eating more formula as I don’t have little to none breastmilk left. I’m wondering if I can water the formula down as it may be harder on her right now? She is 6 months so is able to have water just not really sure what to do as it’s green a...

Hi! My baby is 6 months and on solids her poo for the last 2 days has been pebble like and hard.. is this constipation? How can I help relive it

I am wondering if you still bathe your baby in the little baby bath or have now transitioned to the big bath? Do you only do this once they can sit up or how do you do it? Could you also comment how old your baby is please

Okay, hopefully I won't get too much hate for this post. I just gave my daughter a bath and she threw a fit where she threw herself backwards and I had to fight her to keep her head from going under the water. Next time, do I let her get her head under and immediately pull her up or is there another way to teach her...

My LO is 8.5 months She’s on solids (mainly puree) but won’t eat as much and does not like to drink water. Milk is both breast milk and formula. I noticed since last week that she goes for a poo every two days, the first day she’s fine the second day especially at night she gets really fidgety and wakes up every h...

baby boy hasn’t had a dirty nappy all day and i’m just wondering if this is normal or not? i’m just worried something wrong. he doesn’t seem constipated or anything he seems completely fine so im just looking for some answers.

The doctor said he’s fighting off a bug but she’s more worried he hasn’t pooped in going on 3 days which is not normal for him anyways. He’s super sleepy and doesn’t want to play like the other sicknesses he’s had. She checked for bowel obstruction and everything seems fine. She recommended miralax or prune juice. J...

Everything online says internal bleeding. Before I scare myself too much, I wanted to know if anyone else experienced this? He is playing just fine, fussy from teething. But had a really dark bowel movement earlier

I don’t know where to start - we have done it all - today we saw an osteopath for my baby as he had quite a traumatic birth and has problems pooing. He was breast fed but was fussy on the boob - stopped feeding caught a viral infection and got antibiotics. He is not 10 weeks old and been through a lot. Found out he...

We have just started to introduce cows milk to our little boy now he’s almost 13 months but the last couple days he’s pooping a lot more than is usual and it’s very runny and smelly Is this normal when they start cows milk or could it be lactose intolerance (he used to be on comfort formula which does have a lower l...

So we’ve just moved into a house where there is only a shower. Can any one recommend an inflatable bath brand or a bath brand that will be suitable for her now she’s nearly one.

my lb diddnt poo for 3 days so went to A&E and got prescribed some lactoluse he had a poo 3 days later but he hasn’t been since and now it’s been 6 days so he’s had 1 poo in about 2 weeks ped said breastfed babies can sometimes go up to a week without pooing but now as it’s been 6 days again i’m unsure wether to c...

My little one has just had is 8 week jabs (late, he’s almost 10 weeks now!) He’s had his 3rd dose of calpol but I’m tempted to give him 1 more before bed as his temperature is creeping up - it’s been steady between 36.6-36.9 most of the day but we’re getting into 37.5 now which I know is still fine but it’s deffos ...

Is anyone else getting stressed out by baby poo after they've started weaning. Lo is pooing way less, and it's more like adult poo and straining whenever he poos, he gets so upset. It's still soft but just so much less than when he was on just milk and never runny , worried he's constipated. Anyone else getting this?

Hey everyone, Our daughter is 17 weeks old and we’ve been back and forth to the docs trying to figure out if she has Cmpa. We’ve had periods of no symptoms, when she went back into normal milk, then got a very bad rash and sickness started again so the doc said let’s try prescription milk again to see if it goes. ...

Baby is 10 months tomorrow. During an illness a few weeks ago he got constipated. Had a hard time passing (passed on the toilet eventually in the squat position). Ever since it's an absolute battle, he is scared to go, with holds which results in constipation and the circle continues! I have tried massages, exercise...
