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 ...

Just curious what everyone else thinks… is waiting 6 weeks a myth? We don’t get “cleared” like they do in America, and never told to wait… is it a myth?

TW: choking scare So, I spend 24/7 with my baby who is 4 weeks old today. Literally - unless her dad can watch her for a minute I even bring her with me to pee.

When my boy was around 2 months old, there were times he was able to drink 4oz at a time with no fuss. Now, I can only feed him at most 3.5oz because he throws up once we pass that threshold. One evening after giving him 3.5oz he kept crying for more, so I gave him another 2oz which he finished without fuss. But h...

Hi everyone After lots of research I had the RSV jab last week. No adverse effects other than noticing the last few days the site was really itchy, then today I noticed a raised area where the jab had been done. Almost feels like an insect bite. Anyone else had similar? Thank you xx

Can a baby have CMPA even if they don’t have rashes/hives/eczema nor diarrhea or blood in stool? My baby has constipation and reflux and severe wind pain ever since he was born and I’m wondering if that could be CMPA although the GP ignored this concern? Do all babies diagnosed with CMPA have these specific symptoms...

My daughter had her jabs on the 19th and seems to have had a really bad reaction. Struggling with breathing, very fussy, very loose nappies and a rash. Has anyone else had something similar? Taking her to the doctors later but wondering if I'm over reacting

How are you bathing our wriggly 10/11mo babies? Bath tub, support seat, straight on a mat, or nothing at all?

Hi guys I’m a first time mom and I might sound super paranoid but I just want some other opinions. So my baby has been on enfamil gentlenease for a month and a half and before he was on similac I changed it from similac to enfamil because I felt like he was spitting up a lot. Ever since I changed it he’s been doing...

My little boy is around 7kg and my back is so sore from rocking him, carrying him around, transferring to his next to me etc 😢 I don’t know how I’ll do it when he gets even bigger!

My baby is 10weeeks old, she has been struggling with trapped wind/ colic, since 4 weeks. It’s meant that she’s uncomfortable in the evenings, struggled to burp. Gripe water has helped. I was hoping that 12 weeks is the turning point and her digestive system will start to mature now. However, for the last 2 days, sh...

Sorry for tmi post. My daughter has been withholding her stool on and off since she was 8/9 months old. She went ages without doing it and is now doing it again. It’s really stressing me out, thought we’d overcome this but she always ends up doing it again. She’s not constipated either right now, but ends up becomin...
