I keep seeing pictures of baby acne vs CMPA rash but they are absolutely no help.

How are we bathing our babies? When mine was tinier and less active I would lean her back in her tub so the soapy water would run through the back of her head.

How much is everyone’s newborn drinking? He’s constantly hungry at 8 days old 🫠

Hi, my son is 18 days old. His cord fell off by 7 days old and I’ve been bathing him every other day, how often should you bath a newborn? Can I bath him everyday?

Single FTM here. How the hell are you guys showering? I just have enough time to get a wash and brush my teeth and get dressed before my boy needs me again. I also have no idea what to do with him while I shower. I have a bouncer but he’s a little too small for it for me to leave him in it for that long while I show...

My 4 month old is only pooing once every 4 days. He seems really uncomfortable in the days leading up to his poo and when he finally goes it’s a big explosion. Is this normal? Is it just his body getting used to the formula?

Anyone else struggling to find out if there baby has a milk intolerance? I've changed milks and had baby gaviscon for 3 weeks but baby is still very sicky, and agitated and upset after every feed 😣 not sure what is is! My first born had colic but that was just evenings.

So, this evening I was emptying my baby’s bath water and I spotted a small worm 😱 Now, it could have been in the tub already somehow, but my baby (8 mo)has been really unsettled at night recently and does have a ferocious appetite so now I’m really worried he has worms!? He’s otherwise okay in himself, no fevers,…
