How do you know if a newborn is having diarrhea? We’re struggling to make that determination.

My son has been having frequent bowel movements ever since we returned from a trip to Brazil. I’m not sure if it’s just a coincidence or if he may have picked up a stomach bug while we were there. He averages about 3–4 bowel movements a day, which isn’t too alarming, but it’s definitely not his norm. He’s also teet...

To all wanting to know I did some research and there are traces of mercury in the Tdap and Flu vaccines. Which was supposed to be erased in 2001 along with multi dose vials. If you or your children are given any type of “multi dose vial” vaccines it could cause harm to you or your children as it is known to cause n...

Based on a poll I just saw. My kids take baths at night before bed but I noticed many moms saying how they couldn’t imagine sending their kids to school without a shower in the morning….for us there would be no way! I’d have to wake them up at 5:30am to make it possible…..

My 18 month old has had diarrhoea for 5 days now. Literally anything she eats comes straight out. Went to the doctor and he just said plenty of fluids but I’m really beginning to worry now as she’s even losing weight. I’d say roughly 5-6 times a day explosive diarrhoea. Does anyone know what it could be and if there...

Hi ! So I took my baby in for a fever to his pediatrician and they asked if I wanted to do his 24 month check up and I said sure and they mentioned that he'll have to get blood work done for lead testing and something else. N I forgot to mention I still breastfeed my son so I'm worried he'll come out dirty for week ...

What kind of toys you use for your 4-5 months babies? Do you use any jumpers or similar yet? Please share with me, I feel like my baby is getting bored 😂

I got a wrap to eat from tropical smoothie and did not notice that the lettuce in there was brown pretty dark. Now that looks spoiled if it’s brown. I had eaten already a few bites. Now I’m scared that I can get food poisoning and also hurt my baby from bacteria or something. What can happen ?! Ugh I don’t want to b...

Has anyone not gave their baby their jabs?

The carpets have muddy prints and baby is covered in food and mud when i pick him up

My LG has her jabs tomorrow, any tips that will help her and me tomorrow?

My baby is 5.5 weeks and only pooing every 3 days for the last 2 weeks roughly. The GP didn't sound overly concerned as otherwise baby is happy and feeding. Has anyone had this before or the same? Formula fed if this makes a difference

My daughter has always loved bath time, but honestly, overnight, she has developed a fear of them, she absolutely hates them now! She gets really upset and won't sit down she seems afraid of the water all of a sudden, i have tried to encourage her every day with a new toy and reducing the amount of water in there a...

Hi all, My 4month old LO hasn’t pooped for 4 days now, I’m EBF and started to get a bit worried. I’ve searched it up and apparently this can be normal but he had regular bowl movements before. I’ve done massages, bicycle legs, knees up but still nothing. Is anyone else experiencing this or has experienced this ? A...

Has anyone had experience with their kids cutting their hair off???

My baby is almost 4 weeks old but I notice that his belly looks very swollen like when a puppy has worms is the best way I can describe it. He passes gas and burps normally and his pediatrician said it’s normal but I just wanted to ask if anyone else is experiencing the same thing?? His stomach is just very round an...

Hi all, so my little one had a tongue tie cut nearly 4 weeks ago and all is going well with breastfeeding and no more click sounds on bottles but about two days ago, dc started drooling a little bit and putting hands in mouth then clicking and poor latch started again. I mean it’s a possibility of reattachment but I...

I had a message from the doctors today giving me an appointment for my 6-8 week check and baby jabs but it’s not until I’m 11 weeks postnatal!!! I rang back and they said it’s quite normal and ok for baby to not have them till 11 weeks - I was a bit shocked, has anyone else had this? I’m not so concerned about me bu...

I accidentally ate some soft cheese (feta) - I was quite tired and hungry, and wasn't thinking in the moment. Apparently, it's fine if it's pasteurised, but it doesn't really say on the packet. Does anyone know if a small amount would likely be harmful? If so, any recommendations on what I should do?

Just curious how many times a week you bath your baby. Every day, every other day? Always before bed? I started every day but my LO was getting dry patches of skin. I now do every other day is this too much, too little? It’s a minefield. Also my little one has outgrown their angelcare bath seat. What are we using ...
