Bath

Hi! How many times per week do you usually bathe your baby? So far I bathe her every evening but now that is cold I was wondering if maybe it’s better 2-3 times per week?

5 months

My little girl is 5 months old is there a growth spurt around this time ? For the past couple days my baby has been very tired and all she wants to do is eat. It’s like 6 oz every 2/3 hours AND STILL WANTS MORE AFTER. I have her wait cuz I don’t want her to get a tummy ache

Calpol tips?

Has anyone got any tips for giving calpol? My LO is 9.5 months old and just lets it all dribble out of his mouth 😔 I use the syringe it comes with and give it a little bit at a time, but I’d say he only ever swallows half!

Im sorry if it sounds dramatic but I dont know if I can keep doing this high chair/mushed food/baby from top to toe, clean 3 times a day. I dont know why but it feels soul destroying for me. Constant hoovering and sweeping & planning meals

Anyone with older kids please when does this get easier? When baby gets whiny after dinner and needs bathed and bedtime routine and I still have to do all this cleaning, I could run away. My husband helps but it feels never ending. I already use a wipeable mat to catch the food (she often misses the mat 🙄) and full…

Straining

So my baby is formula fed. He started off with enfamil then I switched him to similac because that’s all my WIC covers. Then I noticed he was straining hella hard and had a hard time pooping. So I switched him back to enfamil and he’s pooping better but he’s still straining. Like he’s straining 70% of the time he’s ...

Visitors

Hey ladies, so I’m looking for a little advice. Today I told my family that I don’t want visitors for the first few days when I get home from the hospital and to say they were annoyed is an understatement. Myself and husband have discussed it and we think this is the best choice for our 2 y/o to adjust to the new ba...

Anyone’s baby had there 1 year jabs

My son was fine literally for two days after but now he’s really miserable, not really eating but he’s having loads of milk and the night sleep is awful because he just wants to be on me. I don’t know whether it’s teething related or jabs related

Is this Diarrhoea? 🫣

Hey guys! I’m not sure if this is diarrhoea or not in my little girls nappies, she’s 10 weeks old, sorry for the gross pic but worried! She tends to do these kind of nappies every 3-4 days and it’s a big poo explosion very liquidy (almost foamy?) appreciate any opinions if you think I need to speak to someone about it!

Poos?

Number 2's question!

Sorry to ask, but how many poos does your 22 month old do a day? My LO can do up to three and they have never really been like what I would describe as a cow pat! I'm now worried there could be something in his diet that he could have an allergy to as his number twos have always been runny. Sorry for the TMI!

Mats for play

Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations for mat's for little ones who are just starting to sit/fall and roll? My little one just figured out rolling on our bed. We have hardwood floors though with just a thin playmat so when he went to do it in our living room he bumped his head. He's fine just got a bit...
