At what age did you wait to get your son's hair cut?

How often does your baby poop? My boy is nearly 8 weeks old but was 6 weeks early so he’s sort of two weeks old in adjusted age. He poops almost CONSTANTLY. Small poops and big ones. Pooping even as I clean him. It comes out very runny and liquidy but I wouldn’t say it’s diarrhea. It’s yellow/orange. No blood or muc...

My little girl has been on nutramigen now for 3 weeks & since being on it every single poo she has which are now quite frequent are explosive and leaks thru her nappy every time, the consistency varies from quite loose & mushy but lots of it too really watery and lots of it!

A lady reversed into me today with my two kids in the car causing not major but damage to my front and dented and multiple scuffs removing the paint.. she refused to give me details.

My baby is almost 3 months but very big (98th centile). We do not have a bath in our house, only walk in shower. For baby we have been using the nuby newborn bath but he seems to be getting too long for it. Does anyone have any recommendations for a bigger bathing option for baby? Thank you!

My girls were on Kendamil but started to become windy and sick so we've changed to Cow&Gate 5 days ago and their still being sick so not sure if it's abit of Reflux? Also their Poo's are the right colour (Korma col...

Hey all, looking for some advice / past experiences. My LO Is 13 days old and has been straining so much and not pooing apart from an explosive poo 24hrs ago which made him no better. He goes bright red in the face and squeals so he is obviously in a lot of discomfort. We took him to an out of hours drs appointment...

Hi guys, my baby is having his first vaccinations tomorrow. Should I give him calpol once BEFORE the vaccines or just wait until after? Anyone got any other advice to keep him comfortable during or after? I’m going to ask if I can breastfeed during.

Hello, first time mum and just experienced my 3 week old first projectile vomit. It seemed like the entire contents of the feed she just had. Temperature is 36.7 so fine. She seems ok in herself. Just wondering why she’d just randomly throw up??

Hi everyone, my baby was diagnosed with torticollis when he was 6 months old, and we’ve been regularly attending physiotherapy sessions through the NHS. We’ve also been doing the recommended stretching exercises 2-3 times a day. However, he’s now almost 10 months, and we haven’t noticed any significant improvement—h...

Hello! Did anyone have a baby with a tongue tie or lip tie? If yes, did you get a frenectomy or do you plan on getting one?

Toddler doesn’t eat much but will eat breakfast/snacks and maybe half a dinner a day. However she’s still passing hard/dark pebbly stools, I’ve swapped her milk to lactose free and that hasn’t helped, she drinks a lot of water and she’s active I’m not sure what else it could be😭

My fiancé’s sister had a baby on Thursday. It’s now Monday. She had a c-section. We aren’t particularly ’close’ to her but will be visiting once she feels up to it. I’ve just had a conversation with my partner where I asked if he had spoken to his sister, as he was thinking of visiting tonight. He is planning on che...

Hey ladies, I just received my first speeding ticket in Corpus Christi yesterday afternoon (10/20/2024) for going 18 mph over. I’m legit a little freaked out cause I don’t want this to impact my insurance but also because I’ve never been through this process before. 🥲 Any tips would be much appreciated.

We’re about a month into weaning and omg the past few days she’s pooping 6+ times a day, i literally changed 3 poopy nappies within the last hour alone 🙃 I’ve started to wonder if it’s normal as before she pooped once a day, sometimes even skipped a day but since Thursday it’s non stop. I don’t think it’s…
