Hi all, my 6 week old (formula fed, Kendamil) routinely poos every 3-4 days and by the time she goes she is in pain and so uncomfortable and gassy. When she goes it’s like an explosion and absolute mess because the amount she’s holding in. She’s been on a probiotic for a week and a half to try and help but can’t say...

Anyone else’s baby’s soft spot slightly sunken most of the time? My baby eats so often and approx 150-170ml every 1.5- 2 hours so I can’t see how this can be dehydration.

Is it ok to bath with baby 6 weeks after c section?

Found these little red chunks all over my little ones poop. Could it be blood?? She’s four months old and hasn’t started solids yet, only breast milk. She’s always been very colicky baby. I got her poop tested for milk intolerance when she was 2 months and the test was negative, but it’s my first time seeing this in...

Looking to get my LO a play kitchen for Xmas & wondered if any of you had any recommendations? I just seem to be going into a hole scrolling through the internet!

I think my LO may have chicken pox she’s 7months old . She’s got a high temp and can see she’s a bit uncomfortable. Some spots on her chest and neck . So I told someone I think she might have and they’d told me to take her up to the hospital as I can be quite serious for babies . She’s only had 8oz since 4am this ...

My 4 month old just spit up some yellow ish green mucus? She has never done this before should I be worried? She is a little more fussy than normal but otherwise is good?! Help!?

How to help a gassy a baby please I have tried - infacol - detinox - gripe water - wonky winding - changing formula - paced feeding - burp after every oz - bicycle legs - tummy massage - Tommy tippee anti colic bottle - mam anti colic bottle None of the above have helped Got GP appt on Tuesday

My baby is projectile vomiting at least once a day at least once a day. Is this normal? Could it be reflux? Should I call the doctor? He’s exclusively breastfed

My 3 week old is super gassy, diarrhea, spitting up, and you can obviously tell she is in pain! We had her on enfamil gentle ease that didn’t seem to help maybe make it worse then pretty quickly switched to hypoallergenic to see if that would help and she definitely isn’t as gassy but is throwing up. Anyone have any...

Just been thinking about the jabs we have to take whilst pregnant. My midwife mentioned taking RSV which from my research is very new (only came out in September 2024). I only had whooping cough with my first and I planned on taking it this time around but I’m skeptical about taking RSV. I know how bad it can be whe...

I gave my 11 month old avocado for the 2nd time ever yesterday (the first time it didn’t agree with his tummy at 6 months old) He projectile vomitted about 4 hours after giving it around 5 times. I have spoken to a doctor who said to keep him hydrated and it was probably a reaction to the avocado. He doesn’t have a ...

Hi everyone! My 4 week old had a tongue tie release yesterday. Any tips from anyone on helping him recover/relearn his latch? Or any other experiences with this? I’m really hoping this is going to make feeding a lot easier all round (we’re doing mainly BF but have been supplementing in some formula as he’s been so h...

So I've got my date. Baby's not due till 3rd dec, but he will be making an exit on 22nd @ 38+3. (Dependent on if i get pushed back.) I suffered so bad after my last section 19m ago. Couldn't toilet for weeks and was so compacted and painfull it was unreal, and i got 🍑🫒. I didn't take any stool softener and my…

My little one recently had her 2nd dose of jabs on Wednesday and ever since has been so grumpy, not sleeping well (was sleeping 10-5!!!!) and just generally not herself normally very chilled and content. Has anyone else experienced this after jabs? 1st dose didn’t seem to bother her at all.

Think my son may have silent reflux so I changed him to kendamil comfort since Tuesday .. he’s been ok on it but his poo is now green and really smelly I’m worried I’ve done the wrong thing because apparently it not even for reflux , should I swap him back to the normal one ? Or will that mess him up or just do it g...

My baby is 8 months old and I now suspect she has an intolerance or allergy to the cow and gate formula she has, is there anyone else that has had this?

32 weeks and the restless leg syndrome as horrible. Any one have any good solutions?? A

Soo there’s been tension all day , this guy just can’t seem to NOT want to argue! While we’re in the kitchen he’s in my proximity not giving me any space, screaming who I am and what I am and telling me to move! Not in a nice way either! I say No I’m sticking right here! I’m playing songs about being treated properl...

It can be either the boob or a dummy but he will do hunger cues when I'm 95% sure he's not still hungry (huge belly, big feed etc) and as soon as he starts sucking something he'll do the mightiest shart I've ever heard 😂 he's 3 weeks old now. Wondering if it's a comfort thing like moral support to get this poop out 😂
