my 6 week old has reflux symptoms of being sick after most feeds (not projectile), squirming/pushing and generally uncomfortable 10 mins after feeds, poos are normal and not mucusy, never had blood in the poo, happy/content during feeding and the period straight after it. We have just started to take omeprazole, sti...

Just a heads up to all the pregnant mommas out there. If you are planning on getting the new RSV vaccination for pregnant women keep in mind that it's only for women in the gestational age of 34-36 weeks. My doctor never told me that there was a cut off on when I could receive the vaccination so I've gotta worry abo...

Little dude has been p00ping non-stop for the last 2ish days. Some were solid at first, but now it’s just diarrhea. He’s 12 months, so we recently started introducing *more* cow milk, but he’s been having it for quite a while now. Other than that, we haven’t introduced any new allergens or anything. He’s got a hor...

My baby hasn’t had a poo in over 24 hours. She’s just woken up absolutely screaming and inconsolable. She has a bottle an hour ago and not showing any sides of being hungry she’s also had her nappy changed. I think she’s in pain from not being able to poo. She’s been pretty gassy tonight and every time I’ve checked ...

I accidentally hurt my baby's nail while cutting his nails, should I take him to hospital and get tetanus injection??? It bleeded little and then stopped. 😞I can't express the guilt I am feeling. Baby is fine he forgot about it he is playing.

Is anyone else’s july babies sticking their hands so far into their mouth they gag? My little boy actually managed to make himself sick today doing it but I’m hesitant to put mittens on him as he’s a thumbsucker when he’s sleeping and if he can’t get his thumb into his mouth he’ll scrub his face so hard he wakes hi...

My little guy has not made a bowel movement for about 3 days. He’ll be 6 months on the 11th. I read that if they’re six months you can try water? Should I even be considering that? I’ve already called the nurse/peds but waiting to hear back from them.

I keep seeing lots of photos of people's babies sticking their tongues out, and it's just occurred to me that I have never seen my little one stuck his tongue out at all. Is anyone else the same? He was checked for a tie when he was born. More curious than anything else.

My 19m old daughter is still terrified. She’s been scared of baths since she turned one & we attempted to go swimming yesterday but to no avail. She’s absolutely terrified. Just wish I could make the fear go away for her 💔 Any ideas?! You’d never know she used to go swimming & even go under water until around this…

newborn here and not sure this is normal?? i’m breastfeeding and i’ve notice my baby spit up a lot like a really good size amount (we have to change outfit almost after every feeding)… even after burping (sometimes he doesn’t burp either). I’ve tried different positions to see if it helps but so far no luck. Is thi...

After one of the toughest days so far in much need of some reassurance that colic gets better. My little one is now 15 weeks old and still seems so unsettled, she’s on infacol and the crying is better but we’re by no means out of the thick of it!

My 8 week old has been struggling for the last week to poo. She is going bright red and clearly pushing with no joy. I thought it was constipation but her poos (when they eventually do come) are normal. She is in otherwise good health and no other symptoms other than difficulty pushing out a poo. Over the last few d...

Is anyone else’s baby still constantly sick? He had really bad reflux as a new born but he’s almost 7 months old and it’s constant still 😵‍💫

How often are your babies pooping if breastfed? At 12 weeks… thank you!

When did ur newborn start showing signs of reflux and if so what we’re the symptoms ?and if so pls give me tips I can try to help with because I think my little guy may have it .

I am a Health Visitor and a mum of two. I comment on posts on here as both but I always feel like we are being bashed on here. I’ve seen comments like we are ridiculous, doctors are idiots, HVs are stupid and out of order etc. does anyone else struggle with this? It’s like we are human too and I can imagine that mos...

For the last few weeks my 3mo boy has barely pooped. He is only breastfed, peeing regularly and his farts stank! Even my husband thinks they're super smelly haha. Bub seems to be acting fine to me, it just he has a shart every other day, should I be concerned?

Hi, Does anyone have the 9 month HV review questionnaire? My little one turns 1 29th November but he was 7 and half weeks premature and a twin so HV said they will do it on 9 months unless he's hitting majority of them then they will do 10 months too. Could anyone send me a copy of the 9 & 10 months milestones pa...

Looking for some advice 🤍 My girl is 4 months old and since maybe 3 months, she’s started vomiting after every feed (regular first infant formula). She isn’t colicky and no other symptoms go with this but even though it’s not projectile, it’s excessive and I’m going through 3-5 bibs and a change of clothes every…

Any gas relief that’s safe for newborn ?
