Anyone else's baby hating the bath? Mine is acting scared of it 😅

He used to be fine with a bath and even enjoyed it but the past 3 weeks he is actually crying in the bath. He clings to me and screams so we both end up soaked. Last night I couldn't keep him in it because he was practically crawling out so I didn't even get to wash his messy hair. He got in splashed maybe 15 second...

Baby constipation

I recently got more consistent with giving my baby solids (purées). But now she’s constantly constipated. Is this just her system getting used to eating solids every day? Should I be worried? She is breastfed and gets plenty of fluids every day and she’s only getting 1 purée per day right now. But she hadn’t pooped ...

How often does your little one poo? 💩

My little guy used to do one a day but in the last few weeks has changed to one every 2/3 days. He doesn't seem in discomfort and still passes wind easily enough! He is combi fed. We've started weaning but he's not actually swallowing any food yet and his bowel movements changed before we started weaning.
