My LO just had his first set of jabs at 8 weeks and is screaming the house down. Mums plz share your experience and advise how long it’ll last for and when he will feel better

So my 5 month old has a evening routine of bath time everyday from June. Now it's getting cold so how many times a week bath will be ok for her? Should I continue as a routine everyday still?

I’m really concerned about my little one when she does poos she really struggles to go to a point where she gets so upset and cries for ages! She even makes a strange noise as she’s pushing Is this normal? Should I speak to the GP?

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!

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...

Question for moms with babies that have reflux. My little boy is 5 months old and the last few weeks has been bringing up his milk more so than before. We went to the health visitor to check his weight, which was absolutely fine (17lb 7oz) so she wasn't too concerned about his reflux. I have an appointment tomorrow...

Okay, so this isn’t for my baby it’s me I’m just wondering is it normal to poo 3 to 4 times a day every single day like no joke I will go multiple times every single day it’s happened more the past week or two, but I don’t understand how I still have stuff coming out of me. I don’t know if I should be concerned abou...

I have 3month old she is only BF but lately she just pukes up a lot more than usual even if she burped. I know a little is normal but what is a little? Also it’s more like watery rather than milky. Not spit ups and its not all at once its like she will do a little then like some time later a little more. She is fine...

My 11 year old daughter doesn't take pride in herself. I have to be on her case about even having a shower! She did not want me to do her hair this weekend and would rather go to school with her cornrows a complete mess. I just don't know what to do.

Hi there, My son is 3 months and 2 weeks old, he absolutely loved bath time as a tiny but as soon as he was hitting 2 months he absolutely hates them. Nothing changed in his routine but he seems to panic so bad to the point of ear piercing scream cry. How can I make this better for him? We have toys but he isn't int...

My 1 year old had a bubble lamp and the stale waters gone all over my carpet leaving a horrible smell any advice or what I can do !

My daughter seems to always be constipated. I have talked to her pediatrician, but nothing seems to be working. I offer daily prunes and pears, miralax in her bottles and I’ve tried to cut down on dairy. Does anyone else have a baby who is struggling with this? Any tips?

Can anyone recommend any places where I can get my 1 year old his haircut?

Hi guys, This may sound ridiculous but am I alright to leave my baby in a room by herself if she's in her jumperoo or bouncer etc. So I can shower? I can't shower whilst she naps as the bathroom is against her bedroom and it wakes her up. I usually bring her up with me but she's been getting bored of it recently s...

Little one is due jabs in a couple weeks. But we go on holiday (abroad) about 10 days after. I’m thinking of rearranging her jabs for after the holiday as I’ve seen a few have had temperatures/rashes etc a week or so after the jabs & that would be while we’re away & I’d hate be to abroad if she was to become unwell....

Hi, my dog this morning knocked my phone off the coffee table and it fell onto my son. I don’t even know how it happened as my phone was in the middle of it but anyway I think it hit his eyebrow but I’m not 100% sure. He obviously screamed and cried for a minute but after having some boob he was fine and now he’s ...

I was told by my health visitor to book my 6 week postnatal checkup with the GP. I asked the GP surgery receptionist a couple weeks ago to book in advance and theyve told me to book end of September as October appointments cant be booked till then. So Ive called today and the same receptionist has now told me they d...

Hey all, my mum and I had a chat this week and she said she was planning to be waiting outside! This made me feel a bit overwhelmed! I’ve thought about it and told her that we don’t want any visitors that soon but we will be in touch a few hours/ days after - I just don’t know how I’m going to feel and really want p...

My little one is going through it at the moment. He has really bad gas and cries quite a bit as he’s trying to pass it for which he also goes bright red in the face and draws up his legs of which I’m doing things to help. However during the night he also draws up his legs, writhes around, grunts and sounds really c...

When did you get your 6 week Postpartum check appointment? My LO is 6 weeks and a day old, there has been no word of any appointment for this PP check but we've already had confirmation of when her first immunisations will be. Baby was a NCIU babe so would of assumed the check would be more priority than scheduling ...
