I always think there is something wrong with my baby

I’m constantly thinking that there is something wrong with my little boy who’s 16months. He’s eating, drinking, plenty of wet and dirty nappies, however if he doesn’t poo for 1 day, I think there’s something wrong. If he’s off his eating for 1 meal, I’m thinking there’s something wrong. If he’s lay differently I thi...

Bath time

My 9 week old likes to have a bath but once we take her out she cries so much and really unsettles herself. Any tips on how to make the post-bath experience better for her and me?! Currently we are doing bottle, wait 30 mins, bath her, change and bed.

Bath time

My 17 month old has a bath most night (or every other) he absolutely loves being in the bath but when it comes to rinsing the shampoo off his hair with water he goes absolutely hysterical ☹️ we've tried using a water jug, the shower hose, a child friendly elephant hose but he hates it. Anyone else in the same boat ...

Excess saliva

Has anyone noticed there little one having a lot of saliva in their mouth? The last couple of days I’ve noticed my daughter seems to have a lot in her mouth and sometimes it dribbles out the side of the mouth especially when she is lying in her mosses basket.

But we only really ever get one photo/activity update a day, and often none at all. It would be nice to see or hear more about what he’s up to. Wondering if this is the norm or if I’m just heli...
