Hi. I have a 6 week old baby who spits up (anything from a little to a lot) after every feed and then often continues to do so afterwards. It's really getting me down as it's so frequent, especially as the weather gets worse. Has anyone experienced this? Did anything help? I know it is somewhat normal but I refuse t...

Does anyone have any recommendations for a soft play set for home? My son is an enthusiastic climber, slider, jumper 🤡

Does anyone know why I've been booked in for a home visit before his birth? I never had it with my first so just confused. Is it a new thing?

I’m just wondering if any mums can tell me what symptoms their LO has if they have silent reflux? My LG is exclusively breastfed and has always had quite aggressive hiccups from birth, congestion that doesn’t seem to go away, only likes to be held vertical and spit ups (not every feed only sometimes). She doesn’t c...

Has anyone had their little girls hair cut yet? My daughter has an absolute mop of hair, it covers her face so I always grip it back, starting to wonder if I should have a fringe trimmed. My concern is it seems to grow forward so thought if I leave it long and keep gripping it over hopefully it will start to lay tha...

Did anyone else's baby projectile vomit what seems like full feeds after these jabs? We had trrm yeat morning. Last night we had to fully change him, me and the bedsheets. And he's just done it again this morning he threw up enough to fully soak himself and my partner. Our baby has reflux so used to him being sick ...

Is anyone else having softer poops? I'm 35+6, and this week almost every day I've had looser stools (not diarrhoea), usually I am quite constipated, I've been the whole pregnancy, but now, they just slide out. This morning, I had to run because I thought I couldn't hold it 😂

Hi has anyone experienced the above? I was told the constipation is most likely the result of strong painkillers i was provided which i have now stopped. The stomach and back pains are excruciating and i cannot walk or sleep comfortably. I was provided stool softners which im taking and went to a n e 2 days post bir...

Does anyone know any good soft play areas that are clean for a 8 month old and can just walk in please

My little boy has constant diarrhoea after every meal, snack or water. Does anyone know how to stop it?

My girl seems to get stiff and grunts constantly for almost an hour like she is trying to poop but she has been pooping fine. She is stunning so much and goes red in the face.

I know putting their hands in their mouth is a soothing mechanism and a development milestone but my girl is shoving them in and gagging. Don’t seem very soothing lol

How do you guys bathe/wash your baby? I still give him a bath in his baby tub inside the bathtub but he moves around like crazy in it and it’s hard to wash off the shampoo without getting it in his eyes. For brushing his teeth, I sit him in the sink, which is also getting tricky now that the weather is getting col...

My little one used to love playing in the water, though he was never a big fan of baths or the tiny baby tubs we used to fill since we only have showers. Once he was able to stand, we turned shower time into a fun wall-spinner-toy adventure, and he really enjoyed it. But lately, he's become more hesitant. He still d...

Hey moms, I just wanted to hear your experiences with getting an epidural. Was it a good choice or not? I've heard some people mention having back pain for a long time after delivery. Also, what kind of care is needed after delivery if you’ve had an epidural?

I'm sure there is nothing I can do about this but I'm curious.... my baby is a very routine baby. Poops every morning at 7:30am and has his second poop around 1pm daily for the past 7-8 months, like clockwork. For the past two weeks... instead of pooping at 7:30am/1pm, he's now pooping 7:30am 7:30pm and nothing in h...

What is everyone’s bath routine? Do you wrap your LO in a warm wet towel while bathing? I didn’t do this last time and I noticed my LO shivered when we took him out of the bath and transferred him to the towel. Does an evening bath help make your LO sleepy?

Hi! My little one has been on solids for a few weeks now but this week he started actually consuming more. Now he hasn’t had a poop since Monday and usually does everyday! When do I need to be concerned? And any tips for helping this??? We tried pear puree with a sprinkle of chia seeds this morning to help but nothi...

I’m in need of some serious help, my baby is driving me crazy with her water bottle, it does not matter what bottle she uses she will purposely spit water everywhere at any given opportunity then sit there and play with the water, she is spitting it so she can play with the water, she soaks the floors daily and I’m ...

I do twice a week once midweek and once on the weekend and I add more if he needs some sort of soothing or extra
