Race question

I’ve noticed race is classified very differently outside of America so I was curious. Do you understand race in the U.S.? For example. Terms like white passing, one drop rule, and brown paper bag test)

Struggling with gas

My 3.5 week old baby is really struggling with trapped wind. He is actually pooping at least twice a day but it’s the inbetween that seems to be the problem.

Did anyone else's baby suddenly become really cranky after their 3rd lot of jabs?

My LO is usually irritable anyway, as I guess it's her temperament. But she's suddenly gotten a lot worse. She had her 3rd lot of jabs Friday after being postponed 4 weeks and she's just a nightmare to deal with right now. Non stop crying and whining and she's just never ever happy. It's making each and every day mi...

How often is your 8 month old drinking breast milk/formula

My little one eats approx every three hours however, the last two days she’s been spitting up which she doesn’t usually. Also, sounds like a bit of reflux… Thinking I should space out her feedings a bit more. Curious how often others after feeding their littles.

When I did my urine sample at my booking appointment (roughly 9 weeks) it came back I had Group B strep. She retested my urine (as she wasn’t sure I had an infection) at my 16 week appointment and it came back negative, so I don’t have it now. She said it’s still routine to have the antibiotics during labour but we ...
