Weaning poos

How’s your weaning journey going? How often do you give your LO’s solids? I’m currently giving my baby girl 3x solids a day. I’m not sure if this is too much but she has been pooing 4-7 times a day these past few days. Is this normal when you start weaning or shall I cut down? Prior to weaning she’d only poo once a ...

Baby vaccines

My 8 week old has just had his vaccines and they told me he probably will want to feed more and cry for a bottle more. Anyway if anything I’ve had to wake him to feed and he’s only taken half of the bottle and then gone back to sleep. Should I be worried?

He can't fully sit up by himself yet so don't want to buy a new seat yet but I'm so worried about him potentially hurting himself, obviously I'm with him t...

Soft play

Hi all! I’m heading to Newcastle next week for a Christmas shopping day and my 10 month old will be with me. I’m trying to plan the day so he’s not just going to end up sitting in his pram/ carrier the whole time. Is there anywhere centrally that he can play? He loves crawling about and climbing on things ❤️🎅🏻
