My 18 month old hates getting her hair washed during bath time. She loves playing in the water but the second I try to wash her hair she freaks out and wants out immediately.

Those that have had them, how was your lo’s after? My daughter has hers the day before she goes to nursery. I can’t decide whether to take her or not. I don’t want her to feel upset/poorly there, but this is only her 4th time going, so I really don’t want to break the routine when she’s just starting to get used to ...

My 8 week old, already restless, colicky and very unhappy most of the day, has recently started waking very upset in the morning, and even feeding her doesn't calm her down. She screams as if she's in pain, keeps coming off the breast, similarly to what she does with the evening bottles. I think her crying is gettin...

My kid used to do three solid poos a day, now he’s doing soft runny ones every hour. They’re a bit yellow and sometimes bubbly. This has lasted almost 3 weeks and his diet hasn’t changed. Should I be worried?

Hi! My little one is 6 weeks old and has been struggling with reflux. We’ve been prescribed gaviscon which did seem to work for a bit but she’s now bringing up majority of her bottle after feeding.

She’s also been very upset today ) I think she’s teething she is drooling badly and I see white on her gums and blisters, Could this be related? How long till they don’t go is it a worry v

Just wanted some advice on taking my 6 month old to visit my husband’s gran in the hospital. Do you think this is okay? I’m unsure whether to take my baby as I don’t want her to catch anything from the hospital but we aren’t sure if his gran will make it and she would like to see her.

Anyone else completely wiped out after the whooping and flu jabs. Honestly feel like I’ve been hit by a tonne of bricks and the arms aching like maddddd 😬
