I have an appointment this week to correct my son’s tongue tie. He’s 7 weeks and I’m just so nervous! Has anyone else been through it and can reassure me it’s not so bad? 🙏 We’ve been trying to avoid it but it’s getting more significant and we believe causing his horrible reflux

My 2yr old sons been really struggling straining to poo. I’m intolerant to a lot of food, and we found out he was struggling with full fat milk and swapped to soya a year ago which made him so much better. However probably for the past 2/3 months maybe he’s been really struggling to go. We are interested in bu...

Hey! Just need a little bit of advice. My almost 4 mo baby is throwing up water with little milk specs in it, it smells almost like a sour milk/sick smell but it’s coming out like a water fountain?? It happens randomly and not just straight after a feed. I wouldn’t say it’s always consistent, it’s just happens now ...

My little boy is randomly sick an hour or so after feeds & it’s just water. He has suffered with reflux since birth. Started the weaning process & he’s taking well to food, just concerned that he’s randomly bringing up watery substance. Any suggestions of what this could be? Thanks x

I have a gynaecology appointment soon that I have been waiting on for several months! I am unable to have anyone watch my son (4 months) and was wondering if I’m allowed to bring him to the appointment? For reference, it Ian NHS hospital. Any advice welcome :)

What is everyone using these days? I was using the Schnuggle baby bath but our baby is chunky and he’s way outgrown it!

I’m scared to vaccinate my baby tbh! She had her first set of vaccines and is due for her next round but I’m scared. I’ve heard about babies getting seizures from the fevers and regressing after getting them. Can someone comment their experience? Thank you

My nearly 20 month old will not sit down in the bath!! I have tried so much and she just refuses. Any advice on what else I can try? I literally dread bathtime 🙄

Our house has terrible carpet that is coming apart. Need a play mat thats padded enough for when she falls back while sitting. Also helpful if the material is slip resistant as shes trying to learn to crawl. So far been using a big blanket but it doesnt give any grip when she's lifting to her knees.

Can anyone recommend a local one with experience in this area? My 4 week old had her tongue tie cut on Saturday.

My boy had an egg allergy the first time he tried it around 6 months. His face and neck broke into hives and his lips got slightly swollen. We called 111 for it and they said to book an appointment with the GP to have him try egg supervised to see how the allergy evolves. We have this appointment booked for tomorr...
