Hey y’all. My daughter turns 5 months in a couple days. She’s teething and loves putting her hands in her mouth. But sometimes she gags herself. Especially when she’s tired - I think she’s more forceful with chewing on her hands when she’s tired. Anyway, she sometimes gags herself and today she actually vomited poor...

Formula fed 1 week old how many poos are your babies doing? Baby girl was going lots and now it slowed

Hi mums, Does cow's milk cause constipation or stomach ache to your little one?

Can anyone recommend a good Osteopath in London for my baby who’s 2 weeks old and suffering with colic/reflux. Trying to find any solution that will help!

Just had the letter through to book our 12 month jabs- anyone had these done yet :( I’m nervous

Baby is 10 months old and loves the bath! What do you use? A non slip mat or baby bath? Thank you xxx

What’s your toddlers favourite toys at the moment? Need some new toy inspo!❤️

Hey guys! Random question - but how much are your LOs pooping?! Mine is 15 weeks was going once or twice a day but over the last week or so he’s been going almost after every feed which feels like a lot! He is dribbling a lot though so I’m wondering if that’s also a reason? I might be over thinking which I do for ev...

My lactation consultant told me to check the baby for tongue tie. Does anyone have experience with it? How's the procedure? My LO is bottle fed and gaining proper weight, so his pediatrician is not concerned. At the hospital, the pediatrician checked his tongue but they never mentioned a tie.

My partner and I were in a glass lift with our baby, as it stopped our family were tapping on the other side of the glass. My 5 month old put her hand on the door just as it sprung open and it just nipped her fingers. She screamed for 15 minutes and then fell asleep. They don’t look swollen or bruised, they were sli...

Any idea what this could be? Could it be CMPA or am I being dramatic… more pics in comments if I can Poo’s are normal, he’s straining quite hard, farting a bit, being quite fussy, wants to be held all the time. 5 weeks old today.

Hello! Has anyone tried or heard of a vibrating toy that goes on the baby's tummy to relieve gas? Baby has gas and maybe reflux issues. I have an appt next week and will mention it to the Pediatrician. I'm not switching formulas... there's 101 different types and it's too much. I've tried burping more often during...

My girl constantly smells sicky , she keeps being sick and hour or so after feeding, she burps fine straight after her bottle, not sure if this is normal my other LG wasn’t sick at all as a baby! 😣

Don’t want any advice saying they’re not needed etc Moved onto stage 2 cow & gate and every day since my daughter has woken up in the morning and done an explosive watery poo. Very smelly, yellow and runny. Her poo was always like that when she was solely on milk, changed when she went onto solids and now back to t...

Hey! My two month old keeps peeing on his side. Whether it's before or after his feeds. We make sure his private is facing down and he fits his diapers. Any reason why he's doing this?

I know it’s recommended not to bath with stitches but has anyone else had a cool quick bath and it been ok? I have been using my peri bottle but I feel like I need a quick 10 min cool bath as I had D&V vomiting last night, so alongside the bleeding I just want to feel clean and the peri bottle isn’t cutting it 😂

My baby has just turned 6 months and is showing signs of readiness so am going to start weaning next week. However I’m just intrigued to know whether people have noticed any improvements in sleep? And also those with constipated babies, what has weaning done for their tummies?

I was prescribed Lactulose for constipation and was up half the night with awful wind. It did the job this morning, I suppose, but my question is does the gas aspect settle down? Cause if it's like this each time I might just deal with the constipation.

I know some young newborns have trouble pooing but it thought it was meant to ease after a few weeks. when did your little ones find it easier and stop thrashing their legs around and straining all day/night? Thank you - a sleep deprived mum

My husband and I will be staying in an Air B&B this summer for 8 weeks (He has to go somewhere for work) There is no bathtub. What are we doing for bathing babies with no tub? Just buy a bin for the shower? Ideas please! Edit: She will be 12months when we go.
