Someone please send some practical tips. My partner bathes/puts my little one to bed very rarely as he’s usually working. This last week or so she has screamed until she’s either sick or trembling and got so worked up when he tries to do it. She’s never shown a preference before this to either parent. It’s so upsett...

Hi mamas - I know babies born via c section don’t get the good gut bacteria that vaginal birth babies do, so what has helped your babies?? I know probiotics but I want to do everything I can to help her body create a good strong digestive system. So if you have any tips, please share!!

So my daughters 16 week jabs were meant to be today, but they sent us away because we were 5 minutes late due to our taxi not showing up until 20 minutes after we booked it, and also the queue at the front desk taking so long due to there only being one person at reception. So we did everything to ensure we got ther...

Anyone else’s little one hate the bath screams kicks and hits or just mine? She used to love them 😩

I almost lost my little girl in a Walmart parking lot because the driver wasn’t looking and was eager to get to her parking spot. I’m so traumatized right now I never want to ever leave the house again. My mom instinct kicked in instantly and I looked around and saw her coming and swerve the baby stroller so fast....

What can I eat?? My baby is 3 months old and for the last couple weeks she has just been so incredibly gassy. I cut out dairy but she's still gassy. I'm now cutting out caffeine, spices, carbonated drinks, and wheat as my hubby said those can cause it as well. What can I eat so she's not so gassy and fussy?

Do your little ones poops only get mucous in it when they’ve had milk or does it sometimes happen when they’re unwell as well? My little one is poorly at the minute with a cold and I can’t tell if it’s because they’re poorly or if they’ve had something that’s had milk in

Can anyone recommend some toys I can buy my 2 year old? We have got most of his presents but I just want to get two more. Something I can buy off Amazon as I can get delivery before Christmas. Thanks.

Anyone else nervous about visiting friends and family over the holidays and baby getting RSV?

My 9 week old babies are on infant gaviscon. I have found it’s making their poops constipated and therefore like an adults would be, hard and play dough textured. They are really struggling to get it out. I’m worried they are going to tear or better yet get so blocked up that they make themselves unwell. My doctors ...

Hi mammas! I have a 3month old and today he’s pooped 3 times and idk if I should be worried or not. For context: ever since he was born he was pooping between 6 to 8 times a day up until he was around 12 weeks old. Suddenly and out of nowhere he started pooping every day and a half or two days, still passing gas...

My 8 week old has been on Nutramigen 1 for nearly 4 weeks now. This past week her poo has gotten really runny again, literally water and I’ve been to the gp about it but she said this normal while she’s adjusting to the milk. Like I say she’s been on this for a month and her poos weren’t like this when she first sta...

She is BF and eats really well. However, she will only have around 6 small sips of water a day. Is this enough?

I'm on the third outfit change of the day🥲 She's perfectly content in herself, smiling and babbling away

Hi everyone, I've noticed that in the evenings my 3.5 month old son is pulling away from the boob even though he's making feeding cues and seems hungry. He does it from his core, pulling back from his stomach, and makes noises that sound a bit like a miaow. I burp him but he still does this, and he's not had issu...

Isn’t it just so sad with the jabs? They’re so happy and blissfully unaware and then suddenly jabbed, I know the immunisations have gotta be done and I personally think they are for the best but it’s just so sad to see them so sad when they are done and how helpless they are after😩 did anyone else feel sad about this?

*health visitor has already been called and arranged a visit* Has anyone’s newborn had Jaundice and been fine? First time mum and I’m absolutely besides myself thinking she’s got jaundice, I’ve tried my best not to google anything because I’ll make myself worse

It's only been 1 week but mine is pooing ALL the time. She isn't taking in that much I'm sure, but it definitely coincides with the weaning? (Consistency hasn't changed much, maybe less liquidy)

I had to shower and wash my hair this morning, I've put my 3 month old in his bouncer watching Ms Rachel 🫣 i can still peep and see him. Just googled it and it says not to let under 2 year old have any TV time! He rarely does, just when I need to get stuff done but now feel really bad Anyone else do this? X
