Before anything I want to say that I have already been in contact with his pediatrician ❗️ My almost 6 month old hasn’t pooped in almost a week. He’s not acting like he’s in pain, sometimes seems like he’s struggling to poo but ends up only farting. He is a little harder to put to sleep at night. He’s still wanting...

How is everyone burping and winding their baby? 10 days old and he just screams. Definitely colic x

Does anyone else’s little one hate their belly being touched? Or should I be worried? Also tips on how to relieve struggling for a poop? My little one will go for one every nappy change but they’re only small they’re not big, she used to do 1 big one a day! Should I be worried 😩 FTM here 😩

LO used to be fine with a bath and now she’s getting to small for the seat which we knew but she won’t sit down in it. Took that out and gave her the actual bath to sit down in but flat out refused to sit down, we had to wash her standing up which want safe as she thrashes about as hates water in her face and hates ...

Our little one has struggled with his tummy since day 1 and we have tried so many things to try and help him. Drs seem happy it's not an allergy or intolerance because he has no rash and is gaining weight. Our concern is that nothing is helping, he will scream in pain from trapped wind, spits up a lot and especiall...

When should you see a GP about your baby not pooping when exclusively breastfed? I think i have it in my memory that it's 10 days of not pooping but I can't really find anything that specifically states when to see a GP so I'm not sure if I've made this up

I started combination feeding a couple weeks now and my 2 month old keeps getting constipated. She started going massively in like every 48 hrs than opposed to daily when she just breastfed. This time she is going on 72 hrs since she has gone. We are going to change the formula to see if it makes a difference. Any ...

Anybody has any thoughts on which one is “best”? I’m tempted to try the pethidine but I’ve read it can affect the baby so not sure if need to go down the route of the epidural instead.

At what age do you no longer have to worry about holding upright for 30 mins after a feed? My little girl is 7 and a half months and I still do it but I don’t think I need to when she doesn’t have the reflux issue so much anymore?

Omg so I’m trying to lay my son down for a nap and I put my hand under the pillow omg there was a piece of poop! Like what the hell that’s gross as hell. He’s 2 and I seen him with his hands down his diaper omg I hope there ain’t more poo in random places

Heya Im new to the county, my little boy turns 9 months old this week. Does basingstoke do the 9 month check? I haven't moved his GP over yet and I'm worried we may miss it, but also not all counties do them? Thanks

Is constipation a sign of early labour?

We have our daughter scheduled for a tongue tie assessment tomorrow at 10 weeks. I’m sure she has one. I wondered how everyone’s little ones found it and whether anyone had any side effects I should be aware of? She’s clicking a lot on her latch and very gassy so really hoping it helps!

My baby's (4.5 months) last two poops have been grey 😨 we can't get a hold of pediatrician until Monday. Do I go to the ER? He seems okay maybe a little grumpy and sleepy. Google says liver problems. Has anyone seen this before?

Does anyone know if breastfeeding mums are eligible for the flu jab in the UK? Our house has its 4th cold since my little girl was born 6months ago (dad is in and out of homes as part of his job), and while LO has somehow skipped it, I’ve been affected badly each time, with recovery made worse I’d imagine by not bei...

My 6 week old has only been pooping every 5/6 days for the last 2 weeks. I spoke to the doctor and they said this isn’t concerning and quite normal for newborns especially when they are breasted and over a month old. She reluctantly prescribed him some lactulose and said we can give it to him if and when he needs it...

My LO is 6 months and he used to be sicky on his milk so we changed to reflux milk and it stopped. The last few weeks he’s started being sick again even with some solids introduced. He has a bowl of porridge, 8oz bottle, 8oz bottle, pouch and then another 8oz bottle - anyone have any ideas as to why he’s still being...

My 20mo has been having up to 6 bowel movements in a day. It is very very foul smelling and weetabix like texture. I have recently taken her off diary (Thursday) as I thought it could be a cows milk allergy. Before taking her off dairy she would try to go many times during the day but would pass very little. Any ide...

My 9 month old has a cold and seems to be pooing 4-5 times a day at the moment. He’s formula fed with 2 meals a day (breakfast and dinner). Is this normal or should I take him to the GP? He doesn’t have a temperature or anything. Apart from being a little more clumsy than usual he seems ok otherwise.
