For my 6 weeks appointment, the baby doesn’t have to come with me right?

My LO is almost 3 and I feel since after her birth my stomach hasn’t been the same. I constantly have IBS symptoms with (passing wind) being the worst. I feel like my stomach is so sensitive to many foods now. Anyone else in the same boat 😫 ??

Hey my son has his 2 year review tomorrow and I’m just wondering if anyone can tell me what happens at this appointment and what happens after, will this be the last time we see the health visitor if he’s developing okey? Also the appointments at 11:30 reckon they’d judge if we was still in Pjs 😂

Anyone else’s baby super fussy before pooping?? I am wondering if it’s something I ate or just normal at this age?

Is he still hungry or what? He eats until he ends up throwing food so I assume he has had enough. Is it normal to get clingy at this stage? He has always loved playing independently. He just follows me to the kitchen and tags in my trousers complaining until I carry him.
