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...

Hey mamas! I’ve been extremely back and forth on vaccines. I have some fears of the aluminum amounts in them, but at the same time don’t want to risk my child from getting any of these seriously illnesses. I’ve been considering delaying my baby’s vaccines at least, but would like as much info as possible. I feel lik...

What are you ladies doing for constipation during 2nd trimester? I need help

Anyone else’s babies going dayssssss without pooping!? We’re now on day 9 and I can’t get my little guy to go 😢. We’ve tried the massages and I even bought a rectal thermometer today in hopes of “stimulating the anus a bit” but nothing yet! He seems fine overall but I’m concerned! Is anyone else going through this?…

I have booked my 5 week old baby to see an osteopath. He’s struggling with reflux and is super tense. He had a tongue tie which was cut at 2 days old. Wondering for those who has used one, what their experiences were and if they saw a difference.

Where can I go to get my baby checked for tongue tie? I have been told midwife’s etc don’t deal with it if u don’t breastfeed? So where can I go to get this checked for one.

How often do you bathe your toddler?

Sorry for the tmi 👀 but just wanted to see if this was usual. My baby was EBF until 6 months when we started weaning. Before, he used to have a poo at least once a day. However, in the past week he’s only had 2 poos?! He’s showing no signs of distress and still enjoying food but just wondered if this was normal?…

My LO is 1 month and she has been having STRUGGLING when it comes to pooping. She goes bright red in the face and often wakes herself from sleeping because of it. It’s really exhausting to see/hear and I feel so helpless! I understand it’s normal for babies to struggle but what level of struggle is considered “norma...

How often are we all bathing our little ones? We are currently doing every other night as she absolutely loves it! Would love to do every night but don’t want to dry her skin out! X

I think my 3 week old has a tongue tie... it doesn't affect him eating (BF). I mean, it was a point where it was kind of hard for him to latch to my left breast, but it wasn't a cause for a concern. He gains weight and latch really good. I'm just wondering why they didn't bring it up in the hospital when I had him? ...

My son (5 weeks old) has a ‘buried penis’ also known as a rectractile penis. Our doctor who had him circumcised told us this and ever since I’ve been a little worried. I’ve read that this is something they may grow out of? Does anyone have any experience with this please?

What do we do with our boy toddlers who have hair in their eyes now? Cutting is not an option.

My baby had his immunisations on Friday and the rotavirus oral drop, handled them well but today he keeps bringing up his milk and seems to be in some type of pain as he’s been unsettled most of the day… I’m not sure if this could be down what he’s had done as it was a couple of days ago now? Does anyone know if sym...

My daughters jags are coming up next month and I’m absolutely dreading it. I was just wondering if anyone had had theirs yet and how it went for you? My daughter had adhd and I’m so scared how she’ll be and if it’ll put her off going to the doctors
