Girls, when are you getting the chance to shower??? Now my little girl is super mobile she's become a little escape artist and can get out of her bumbo seat. I usually sit her in that with a snack and something to watch in the bathroom while I shower but I can't do that anymore because she gets out!! I can't shower...

Have any women gotten an epidural injection for herniated disks and it not work? So your doctor wants to try another with a new “cocktail?” It’s been a month since my injection and it hasn’t helped at all. I’m not on any pain medication and I’m in excruciating pain from sciatica. I’m willing to try anything (except...

It’s time for baby to take his first bath! I am so nervous because he freaks out when he’s naked and being changed. Any tips?

Does anyone have any tips or advice about weaning when it comes to reflux babies. My first born was very fussy and colicky but wasn't really sick so weaning was fine but my daughter - 6 months has pretty bad reflux, and I'm finding it really daunting and difficult. I'm currently still giving her the normal amount of...

I have a little bit of health anxiety so I’m a bit nervous about my baby’s first jabs. I’ve got calpol in ready but how long did the come down last for you? I’m really intrigued so I can best prepare and not panic and let my anxiety get the better of me.

NHS website says to still send them in, in wondering what you would do? Goes without saying if child felt well in themselves / no temp.

I'm planning to celebrate my daughter's first birthday party and I was thinking about hiring a soft play area. Does anyone know any soft play hire company for South Birmingham?? Could you please send me any that you know please???

I am not anti vax at all. Had my whooping cough in both pregnancies my toddler has had his jabs but I feel like the RSV jab is still incredibly new and a lot of people have mentioned feeling super run down etc. I just don’t want to take anything without being comfortable. Anyone else?

Baby Girl is 3 weeks old tomorrow, bottle fed on formula & her poo has gone from yellow to a green colour. Has anybody else experienced this? I never had any of this with my two little boys so I’m unsure if it’s normal or not 😩

My one month old baby has been so unsettled today and crying all day long. She is usually quite a good baby and doesn't cry much. However it seems something is really bothering her and she is crying and can't seem to sleep either. She is mostly breastfed but giving some formula milk. We chage formula to aptamil ...

How often are you bathing your LO now? I’m still on the every other day bath schedule but not sure if I should be doing it more since she’s mobile.

What’s everyone doing, who uses kendamil? My LO was good with the first infant organic, then she went on to the 6-12 months, can’t find that one anywhere over a week so tried the 12-18 but that one makes her constipated. And she’s teething! Any suggestions?

Anyone else’s baby in the womb have a full on party after you’ve had a poo, like they finally got room to move again? 😂

My 14 month old still has loose nappies… is this normal? Nursery keeps telling me that she’s having loose nappies, but she always does. Is this not normal? I can’t remember what it was like for my oldest at this age

Recently found this out and feeling shocked, sad and angry. I feel like I should say something but I know it will cause drama. But I feel scared for the baby. The baby is well cared for in other ways but I think this is neglectful? Anyone raised concerns with a family member over this?

We have 1 year jabs this afternoon. How have everyone's LO's been with them? Did you give calpol before hand? Thanks x

is it normal for a 2 month old baby to constantly need to fart? he will have a feed and need to fart then he will sleep for hours wake up needing to fart, we also need to help him fart as he cant fart by himself most of the time and its starting to become a problem and affect his sleep.

Anyone know what the rules are around visiting the ward in Antrim Area Hospital? I’ve heard differing experiences. Just wondering if it’s still strict post covid or will grandparents etc be allowed up to visit?

My 6 week old struggled for the first couple of weeks with pooing then started going more regularly. She has always spat up quite a lot after feeds...this past week though she is struggling again with pooing... straining a lot and then spitting up as a result of this it seems. No.2's have always been runny so when I...
