Reflux

I think my baby has reflux. During most feedings, she arches her back, cries, is fussy, and dribbles milk. I burp her as often as I can during feedings and do bicycle kicks and massage her stomach. She is a little over a month. Is this something that goes away over time? Any tips?

RSV vaccine at 37 weeks?

So I’m 36 weeks now & been offered the RSV vaccine but most likely won’t get an appointment before next week at the earliest so will be 37 weeks or more. Has anyone had the vaccine this late and been fine? Is there much point getting it this far in pregnancy, as I could give birth any time. So stuck on what to do!

My lb seemed to be fine with dairy but recently he is constipated all the time. Trying to go six or seven times a day. I took him to the doctor who just gave me lactulose and laxido. There is a really strong smell of his poo, not just a smelly poo - it’s really really foul smelling. I said I thought something was ca...

Sudden aversion to water

My 15 month old has a sudden aversion to water - until last week she LOVED having a bath but now, it’s almost like she’s terrified. She screams so badly and clings onto me - I’m worried that if I force her into the bath it’ll traumatise her. Has anyone else faced this with their little one? Thanks x

21 month old spitting up

My daughter drinks her milk in the morning after waking up, and for a week, she’s been spitting up right after drinking, 2-3 times (like she used to when she was a baby). She wakes up hungry and doesn’t have her milk before sleeping, so she’s not overfed, in my opinion. I messaged her Ped, but there has been no repl...

Health Visitors

Just looking at what I should expect from health visitors. I'm not from the UK and a few months ago I randomly got a letter that because I'm expecting a baby they'd be in touch for a visit. I didn't know what a health visitor was and that's pretty much all it said. I mean it's a letter from the council just saying t...

4 month vaccines went great

Yesterday my LO got his 4 month vaccines. They were challenging in the moment, as always, but I nursed and sung to him after and he was smiling again by the time we left the doctor's office. I expected him to be tired and fussy in the evening and overnight like he was for his 2 month vaccines, but he wasn't. He was ...
