My word my baby is so farty at times. Is anyone else baby farting loads??

I had my 37w midwife app today & I was looking at my notes after and she has put the following - VIT K/ new born screening discussed & questions answered. Firstly she didn’t discuss either of these with me, so I didn’t ask any questions to be answered so that’s annoying that she’s lied on the notes, but I also do...

Hey. My baby is 5 weeks, seems to be quite colicky (some days worse than others) and finds it difficult to poo. It’s really hard to burp her but she’s very gassy which just ends up trapped and sometimes results in reflux. Twice she’s brought back up some of her bottle. There’s a lot of cries in pain before a bowel m...

I’m due with baby #2 soon and so worried about how my daughter will feel. She’s still breastfed 3 times a day and is so emotionally attached to me. She’s very close to my husband too, and doesn’t have a relationship with any of our family as they live so far away. Her whole world is “mommy & daddy” and I want her to...

Hello! My lb is 5months, he has outgrown his baby bath but cannot sit up unsupported yet. I was wondering what the best baby bath or seat would be to use? We have both a bath/shower and a separate shower but our bath has a glass panel that cannot be moved making it a little awkward it get round. Any recommendations...

How often do your babies poop? Is it okay for them not to go every day? We haven’t started solids yet but I know that can change things

Baby’s who are sitting independently, are you using a bath support or just a non slip mat?

Is anyone using baby bubbles in their newborns bath time? My little one is 1 month old and I’ve just been bathing him in water. I’ve been gifted some Aveeno baby daily care but it doesn’t state what age you can use it from. Looking at Child Farm as that brand seem really good.

Baby is 7 months old but won’t drink any water with meals. She is a bit constipated. Any tips on getting her to drink water? Tried with the cup from health visitor!

Hey, just wondered if anyone had applied for a first passport for their little ones recently and was wondering how long they are roughly taking to turn up at the moment? Tia 😊

How/when was your LO diagnosed with CMPA? Context- my LO is almost 10 weeks and we have been dealing with reflux and horrible gas issues. He is a fussy & uncomfortable baby most of the day except just after gas or poop movement. So far Ive been told it’s just reflux & colic and he will grow out of most of it by 12...

Feel completely fed up with little ones reflux. She’s 7 months old now, and still spitting up hours after feeds and when she’s on her tummy. She’s been weaning since 5 months due to reflux and she was doing really well but over the last few days as soon as she has a mouthful of lumpy food, she will gag and the entir...

Hi all Looking for some advice. My LO is now 3 months old and we have been on a feeding journey from the start. He was EBF for the first 7 weeks, I then had to combi feed and eventually we went to strictly formula feeding around 4 weeks ago. I did wonder when I was BF if he had an allergy to milk given he was...

Could the milk I’ve been using be causing he’s constipation? He’s pooing but screams in pain and when it comes out it’s solid the size of a rock!

My little one is due her 8 weeks jabs soon and really torn on letting her have them, what’s everyone’s opinion on them and if your little one had them ? How they was after?

Hey moms, I have a newborn, 1 month old. Hasn’t pooped since 1am this morning so we’re coming up on 24 hours, hasn’t slept all day, very obviously uncomfortable. I’ve been doing the crunches and belly rubs, we did the warm bath, gave him some gas relief drops. He’s farting just not pooping. Any tips? Thank you!

So I’ve just had my antenatal health visit home visit and I found it very informative. She spoke to us about breastfeeding, our overall health and wellbeing, our background info such as what we do for work etc, she also signed me up for antenatal breastfeeding support so I’m booked in for my first one on the 7th of ...

Baby does poo normal but there's quite a few tiny poos like a couple dots seems like it came out with a fart. It's very regular so I'm going through a thousand nappies! Anyone else?
