I saw these black things in my 5 months old today! Do you know what this could be? I gave him banana to taste yesterday for the first time …

My son is 2 next month and has started hiding when he is having a poo. Has anybody else's little one started doing this?

Any babies had the MMR jab yet, and if so, how were they? Do the symptoms subside by the next day or do you find it takes longer than previous jabs to get over it? Thanks

I only get 3 or 4 and it never feels enough😂

My baby is 4 weeks old been on nutramigen since a few days old due to mucus & blood in his dirty nappies. Suspected CMPA after being sent to the hospital. However I’m unsure if he’s now having a delayed reaction to the milk. since joining a CMPA group and learning a bit more about it all I think this milk might n...

How many injections at 1 year jabs please? Heard they get in each arm and each leg?

Who has been for screening tests and what did they involve? Not sure whether my boyfriend needs to come to the appointment too?

Hey mums. Looking for some advice. My boy is 18 weeks old and he hasn’t pooed in 5 days. He hasn’t shown any signs of discomfort and his belly is soft. I tried everything to help him poo. He has already started eating pouches (we have been recommended this by our hv). Therefore we tried apples, prunes and pears a...

Just had a phone call to book a health visitor coming to the house so I now have just over 3 weeks to get the nursery sorted so I can at least make the house look presentable, because all my stuff from the baby shower has taken over the kitchen! Panik!! 🫨

Just need to vent I think, and know I’m not alone. Baby boy is 3 weeks old. At his 5 day check he had lost 7% of birth weight. At follow up appointments he continued to lose weight and was readmitted to hospital. Weight started to go back up. Re-weighed again today and he’s now down to 9.8% of birth weight lost. H...

Is anyone else’s formula fed wee one only pooping every 2-3days? He’s passing wind 💨 fine tho! He’s 3 weeks old tomorrow?

Our 3 week old is having a really hard time passing wind, she is in so much pain. She is also only pooping every other day. Is this normal? Or could it be something I’m eating? Any tips? It’s so horrible to see 💔

How often is everyone changing nappies and bathing their 12 week old babies?

Does anyone find their wee one is vomiting more after their feed the older they get? He used to throw up a little bit but now it's a lot of sick every time he feeds :(

On Friday morning I was changing my 8 month old on her changing table as normal and my 20 month old was running about the bathroom adding to distraction. My 8 month old began peeing as soon as a I took her nappy off so I thought to myself I may aswell bath them both now as they needed one that day anyways. So, my 8 ...

My baby was supposed to have her 8 week jabs today (she's 9 weeks 4 days so it's already late) but her appointment was cancelled due to staff sickness and rebooked for two weeks time when she'll almost be 12 weeks. This feels very late and I wondered if anyone knows if this will cause any problems for her? Thank you.

My little girl was born at 32 weeks, was exclusively breast fed for the first few weeks and then I switched her into formula - she has been getting progressively worse, seeming in pain with wind, straining, back arching either during or after feeds and takes ages to settle. She has recently started bringing up milk ...

Child maintenance have just emailed me saying first payment is due in 3 days, provide my bank details etc. However when I login it says that 0 money is owed/due. I’m a little confused, I applied for child maintenance years ago but never got anything. Wondering why I got this random email yet still says online that m...

How often do you bathe your little ones? I’ve been doing a bath every night as part of the bedtime routine but with the water quality of London not being great, I’m beginning to worry if it’s too much and that it might effect her skin and make it too dry etc. How often do you do baths?

Having a baby tomorrow night want to cover it up with makeup know it's needs stitches 😭
