Tongue tie

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? ...

Buried Penis

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?

Constipation

We have a very healthy diet which includes veggies and fruits. We rarely have any processed foods but baby was all of a sudden constipated for 4 days last week. Before baby used to go at least once a day. Any recommendations? She ended up having some prune pouch. Should I start including it in the diet?
