Please does anyone have any idea of what age one should stop burping a baby ?

I feel like half the toys we have our little boy doesn't even play with but I feel guilty if I get rid of them because they were gifts or he might suddenly want to play with it, I want a good clear out before Christmas. What's your rule, how long do you keep toys that aren't played with?

her doctor told me to give either apple, pear or prune juice but didn't tell me how much to offer. he also said that she was at the age where I can offer her high fiber foods like lentils but I don't feel like offering her food since she's a preemie and most definitely isn't ready for it either.

I have started weaning my 6 month old and he's not pood in 24 hrs. He's breastfed so this is the first time I've experienced him not pooing as he usually poos a lot daily. What can i do to help this? I've tried the bicycle exercise with his legs but no luck. Is this normal?

Please help! My LO barely poops during the week. She sometimes only manages a poop once or twice a week. I’m not sure what to do! She has not pooped this week yet. I feed her expressed breast milk. Is there sometimes I can do for her? Any advice appreciated.

If your baby is on HIPP Organic, what is a normal poo like for them (baby is 11 weeks old) & how regularly do they go? Thanks!
