After a bit of advice.. There seems to be something wrong with him but how do I know what it is.. at first I thought he was gassy, then I questioned my breastfeeding, then could it be reflux, then a dairy allergy, or even tongue tie… I honestly don’t know, this is my second baby so you think you’d be able to figure ...
I'm convinced this isn't normal? My 12 week old had her tongue tie cut 3 days ago, she's in absolute AGONY and has screamed alllll day today even with calpol?! They've cut her actual tongue not the skin underneath ?? I asked them 3 times after if they're sure it's done properly and he said yes.. this is a consultant..
I have my 6 week appointment with my ob this week and wondering if I’m supposed to bring my little guy with me? What did you guys do?
Anyone else had the epidural and now just feeling absolutely battered with their back. Honestly I feel like I can’t move properly without it just giving way! It’s so frustrating and painful
Does anyone else find their baby goes 3-4 days plus without a poo and then you get a poo explosion? He is 7 weeks, just wondering how many days not pooing is normal and when I should be worried/get it checked out?
Does anyone else's baby spend some nights straining loudly for poos. No difference to how much she is winded. No signs of constipation, but whilst asleep in the next to me she will loudly strain during active sleep
I have a 2 year old son who is very attached and clingy to me. He sees my nakedness when I'm having my shower, and when getting dressed. Sometimes, he says things like mummy's breast and pointing. I can't close the bathroom's door against him as is just me and him most of the time. Please, is it wrong to be exposin...
My little is 2 months old and extremely constipated. I’ve tried gripe water and mylicon drops to help her tummy. Is there anything else I can try?
She seems fine. Sometimes she strains unsuccessfully, but overall not uncomfortable or vomiting.
It started on Thursday and still going strong. It's literally water. Maybe 8-10 times a day so his bottom is also really sore bless him. His EBF and still having lots of feeds and is still weeing. He seems a bit grumpy and out of sorts but otherwise well! Am I ok to wait until Monday to contact the GP?
I bathe her every other day and do a flannel wash on the days where I don’t do a bath, but I’m thinking I’m just going to do every 3rd day as she’s not exactly dirty and still give her a wash every day just not a bath. She’s 12 weeks on Monday
My baby girl is 4 weeks old; we were breast feeding but due to factors beyond our control she was swapped to Bonya by Kendamill two weeks ago. Unfortunately she is being sick after a couple of feeds each day (projectile, brings up whole feeds) she spends most of her evenings grunting and groaning, it’s worse when ...
My little girl has ALWAYS struggled with gas (bottom end) ever since newborn days. Never used to poo regularly, used to go maybe every 4 days as a small baby, although now she does go once daily. I swear her sleep would be better if it wasn't for her wind, when she wakes up it seems to always be due to needing to p...
I’m breastfeeding my son throughout the day. He’s 4 months old. I’ve been feeding him every 3 hrs. Today he spit up so much milk. Almost seems like he spit all he drank. Am I over feeding? He’s also teething right now so it’s hard for me to understand the difference between teething and early hunger cues since his h...
Where do you all put your little one when you shower? We did a bigger bouncer seat until she just now completely crawled out of it… (luckily, I jumped out of the shower and caught her!) I don’t trust her in her crib yet because she crawls around and stand up constantly. What do you all do?
The doctor gave my baby this medicine, which is steroids because he has RSV for his congestion. I never known babies to take steroids, so can you please let me know if this is OK what do y’all think about it because I’m unsure.
