She has had diarrhoea though Saturday we had about 5 lots then only 2 Sunday and 1 yesterday and today. Been giving her an extra bottle of milk mid-...

Clear urine?!

Your kiddo ever pee clear few times within the hour? That just freaked me out. Never seen him pee clear! He did chug half a cup of apple juice a little while ago. Should I worry?

Reflux baby?

How did you know your little one had reflux? What did you do and did it help? I think mine is suffering with reflux. He just vomited multiple times after feed and has been vomiting after most feeds for the past week or so.

Baby uncomfortable after starting solids

My 6 month old baby started on solids yesterday. We gave him around a spoon of rice porridge on both days. He seems very uncomfortable the whole day, and didn’t nap well.

Is it possible to speed up feeding?

My baby was born with a tongue tie, and I presumed this was why he took so long feeding - up to 1hour 30mins on breast & up to 1 hour on a bottle, often back to back. Cluster feeds are horrendous - 4 to 6 hours non-stop feeding, burping, nappy changing. His tongue tie was cut last Thurs 16th, things haven’t really...

At what age do you start covering up around your child?

Currently my son is 9 months so this isn’t something I’m stressing about, but at what age do you start worrying about modesty around your child?
