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.

My Ebf is 3 months and has smelly farts and sometimes smelly poos Anyone else??

Hi mommy’s! I was looking for recommendations on supports bands/belts, one that would be best to support chronic back pain(unrelated to pregnancy.) as well during this process.

Why didn’t y’all tell me that dates are a natural laxative?! I just bought some fresh dates this morning to eat in preparation for my upcoming labor. Ten minutes later I’m waddling to the toilet and praying I don’t shit myself.

Hey, does anyone have any recommendations for a PT that specialises in postnatal around Milton Keynes/Woburn/Leighton Buzzard or surrounding area? I had a c section 5 months ago and I’m really struggling with my weight and motivation.

I’m just after abit of advice! My 3 month old has been feeding every 2 hours for a couple of weeks now and I’m just worried I’m over feeding him! He’s a very refluxy baby and I try to rule out other things before feeding to make sure I’m not overfeeding him. Google says they should feed every 3-4 hours so I’m just w...

Hey y’all! As the subject says..I am thinking my little one has reflux. Lately she has not been able to finish her normal 4 oz bottles…she generally will leave an ounce or if I get her to finish. It requires lots of stopping, burping and resting. She cries in discomfort until she is burped. I feel so bad. She has he...

My LG is 8 weeks and we still havnt had her 6 week check and injection appointment. I’ve also not had my 6 week review. When I chase to make an appointment they just say it’s with the admin team and they will be in touch. Still nothing. Anyone else has this?

Anyone else dealing with back pain since pregnancy? My daughter is 2 now and I still have lingering back pain since I was pregnant with her. What are we doing to help it? Chiropractor? Physical therapy? Lmk what worked for you guys!

I just wanted to give a little bit of information regarding our baby’s tongue tie situation, incase it helps any other parents/babys. As soon as my baby was born, the midwife noticed he had a tongue tie (so it was quite noticeable immediately). On discharge, the paediatrician confirmed a tongue tie, but stated as t...

Needing help, didn’t have this with my first. My little girl can be so unsettled it’s heartbreaking- she is burping and passing wind fine. She will only poo every few days at a push. What are the signs of a milk allergy as just wondering if this could be the case. But don’t really know what to look out for or if...
