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 ...

My little boy, who used to love bath time, has been hating it for the last week or so. And I mean screaming, tears, standing up and refusing to sit. It’s horrible to see him so distressed, but we obviously still need to bath him. Has anyone else experienced this? I’ve tried getting in with him, new bath toys and e...

Sorry if it's TMI... I'm 35 weeks and since last week I keep having stomach aches, diarrhea and gas.. is this normal? I don't remember this with my first pregnancy..

My little girl is just about to turn 5 months and is constantly sucking on her finger and putting toys in her mouth, she has now got diarrhoea, and has had it for 3 days now, I can only assume she’s picked up a little bug or some bacteria. Is this something I just need to keep an eye on or should I be calling the GP...

2 days ago I put a clip in my daughter's hair because her hair is getting in her eyes. She would take it off and try to put it in her mouth. I would always grab it and tell her no. For the majority of the day she had it in her hair. When we got home I was exhausted and laid on the couch resting my eyes while she pla...

My 3 month old baby has always had reflux and has colic. But recently the vomiting has gotten so bad! He vomits when burped straight after feed, then 5 mins later, 15 mins later, an hour later then has a nap wakes up and vomits loads more. The GP said it’s all normal as he’s growing and gaining weight and not projec...

Can anyone recommend a bath seat please? My 1yo is too big for her shnuggle bath but keeps slipping in our big bath. It’s really awkward to sit and support her as we have a small P shape bath with a fixed glass shower screen so hard to bend round. TIA :)

how do you clear a baby’s chest?😓she’s bought green mucus up after a feed/not getting wind up and taking ages to feed and is coughing constantly and choking like fits after a feed, it’s distributing her sleep too!! need help? any tips would be grateful

My little one will be 3 weeks on Friday and at night time and early hours she struggles to poo so badly. Like she is scrunching and stretching and the noises she’s making because she’s straining is horrid:( she will eventually go but like last night she was a little bit sick. (We BF only) I have given infacol but do...

Hey ladies! My 17week old has always struggled with gas and for the first 3months even struggled to poo as he couldn’t get the hang of pushing. This has improved however, now every time he wakes up he’s screaming in pain from gas. Bicycling his legs helps sometimes to pass this although the last 2 mornings he won’t...

Which bath setup are you using now? I was looking at the Angelcare sitting one (not the from birth one but the chair-ish one when they can sit) but wonder if anyone’s happy with it or you have other reccs!

My LO is 4 weeks old and is SO loud and fidgetty a lot of the time! I can't work out if he's uncomfortable with reflux or colic. He'll have moments of calm and then starts again, it's really frustrating me and I know it shouldn't but I don't know if it's normal? Sometimes it feels like he's an animal!

Did anyone else's baby not pass the lead test? My baby's was slightly over, and now they want us to get blood drawn to double check the levels. We live in an older home, but I have no idea why it would be slightly elevated. And honestly, I'm worried.

My 4 week old is fine during the day but around bed time she screams for like 1-2 hours nothing soothes her she rejects bottle sometimes and when she does feed there’s a lot of spit up. Tried everything warm baths tummy massages different burp techniques. Using tomee tipee anti colic bottles should I look into chang...

Has anyone got appt for 10 months assessment yet? With my first they didn’t bother until she was 1.5 years, but my boy has appt booked soon.
