Please can anyone that has had their baby at RBH recently remember the times and rules for visitng? The hospital website gives me different answers in different places and my paperwork says to check their facebook page but that doesn't mention it at all!

Baby is on nutramigen. Had some puree sweet potato yesterday hence the slight red tinge. * poo photo in comments *

My little girl had her 8 week jabs today has anyone else had there’s yet?? How was everyone’s baby’s through the night/the next day?

We have our first baby vaccinations tomorrow 🫣 Got calpol. Do you give them the first dose just before the appointment or wait until after?

My baby feeds well, burps well most of the time with a bit of spit up. And I sit him upright for at least 15-20 minutes after feeding. But he is sick 1.5/2 hr after feeding, this is usually more than spit up. Any advice? He’s putting on weight and is giving enough wet/dirty nappies

So my baby is EBF and regularly went for a poo twice a day normal dark brown colour, but she's recently had some vomiting and now has had 2 loose really yellow poos, and then 2 loose dark green poos?!

My daughter is hoover obsessed anytime I pull it out she gets excited and wants to help and makes the noise. Has anyone got there a wee one a toy one that's good? Thinking of getting her one for Xmas x

I know when little one turns 2, they get their first dentist checkup but when does that happen? Dose the dentist sent you a letter or call you to book it or something? Do you have to call them yourself to book it? Or do you wait til you see the HV? *we are already registered at a dentist*

My little girl tends to do a huge one 1x a week and then might not do any or may do a small one

If anyone’s little ones have had chicken pox yet, please could you send any tips for ways I can’t help over the next week please? Thank you xx

My 3 week old struggles to poop, she eventually does but it takes a lot of effort and squirming. Why? What can I do to make it better? She was pooping just fine without too much effort.

For your little ones that goes HFM before when exposed to it again in a family setting did they pick it up again from younger siblings or nursery. Want to know if my boy will get it as bad as before or if he will get it again

Has anyone upgraded to proper bath seat yet and if so what have you got? I’ve had a look about but I’ll be honest they all look horrible and I’m worried about catching baby’s legs as I’m lifting him out in the seats.

I know some people are for it when it comes to colic babies, but what about outside of that. Have you talked to your child’s pediatrician about it

Hi My son has been having Gaviscon in his milk for almost 3 weeks, the doctor did say he might get constipated at first but he didn’t. However, he last had a poo 6am yesterday, has anyone else experienced this is yes: 1. How long did you wait to see if they popped before seeking help? 2. If you did get help wha...

Does anyone else’s 11 week old hate the bath?? Especially when they are taken out to be dried etc? I would love this to be part of our bedtime routine but she gets so upset :(

I’ve always been the ‘mature’ one ever since I was young. I’m now a mum to a 9 month old little boy and I’m honestly ashamed to admit I don’t know how to play with him. It feels so foreign and uncomfortable to me, I don’t even know what I’m doing. Does anyone else feel like this? Or does anyone have any ideas for play?

My daughter was 2 at the end of August and still had no notification about her 2 year/27 month check up. I thought we would have at least had a letter telling us when it would be by now. Anyone else?
