Hi folks! My 8 month old recently moved up to two solids a day (we are giving a mixture of purées, mashed up fruits/veg, oatmeal). She has been a pooping machine which makes sense given the uptick in solids but today she has pooped 4 times!!! Is this normal? Are other folks experiencing this? Just wanted to double c...

Do your little ones play independently yet? My LO is obsessed with the boob and wants to climb on me constantly

Got my little girls one year review tomorrow, does anyone know how long it takes?

Hey, we started giving purées about a week before my boy turned 6 months but he seems constipated and in pain like his stomach hurts?😭 I don’t know what to do or what I’m doing wrong, advice much appreciated

How often should I bathe my 7 week old? So far I’m doing every couple days but I’m looking to move it to every night as part of a bedtime routine but I’m unsure if this will be bad for his skin?

Those who are weaning, are your babies experiencing gas pains? Are they mild or severe? My girl seems to suffer for days after trying even the smallest amount of food

We were gifted an Amazon gift card recently and wanted to know what your babies like playing with at the moment? Need some inspiration for toys I can pop in his cot to keep him occupied so I can pop to loo Thanks

Can a hot bath start of labour

I suffer really badly with tinnitus, like it’s distracting in my day to day life, is making me snappy, it’s an overbearing sound that makes me so angry and so so sensitive to noise. Has anyone else had any luck with hearing aid(s) in reducing the noise ect or anything else people have found that works TIA

My little one squeals as though he is hungry will take a few sips and arch his back and kick back and squeal again but the minute he straightens up he will drink more and this will keep going until he’s crying so much he won’t drink, but will fall asleep once he gets his dummy? Is he telling me he’s done or is this...

Just curious, I had my baby October 6, didn’t receive a payment on the 20th because I figured it takes time. I recieved it today but will I be getting a backpay for October?

Has anyone’s little ones had their preschool jabs yet? I know it’s at 3 years 4 months and that’s coming up for my son in a couple of days but haven’t yet heard anything, gp is closed today for staff training too so can’t ring up to enquire about whether an appointment is set for us or if we have to make it!

Is this a phase??? She has spat out every single thing today, whether its off a spoon or BLW. Even the fail safes such as yoghurt are all being spat out. Last night was the same. We were actually at the doctor yesterday about something else and he checked her mouth and throat so not as if there is anything wrong the...

Hi everyone, wonder if anyone can help with any advice. My little boy is 10 weeks old and up until now was having 6 ounces every 3 hours. He would sometimes finish the bottle but often leave an ounce. But now he’s only drinking 3 ounces at a time and then refuses to have any more. He does then sometimes have the res...

Hi can anyone help with what jabs I need and how many weeks?

My little girl has croup, it’s been a struggle to say the least. We’ve had hospital and doctor visits but don’t seem to be getting anywhere. It’s day 6 now. Any advice on things that worked on your little ones when they’ve had it would be so appreciated. Thanks! Have a lovely day 🩷

Hey everyone, my baby started solids a few days ago. She still has 4 bottles of breastmilk a day (around 180mls each) and 2-3 sips of cooled boiled water in morning with breakfast and in evening with dinner. Her poop has changed (which I know is normal). But she is really struggling to poop. She isn’t constipated be...
