Tongue tie

Our baby has a tongue tie, he is both breast and bottle fed and the tounge tie doesn’t effect feeding. He can also poke his tongue further than his gums so paediatrician told us he won’t have speech problems. But I can’t help but to think I should cut it. Opinions?

3 year old jabs

My son had his jabs, he wouldn’t let us take the plasters off even though they were irritating him. I finally got it off after 3 days and this is what was under it! Would you say he’s allergic? Or has it gone like that because he had it on for too long🫠

Toddler poop

Anyone else’s toddler not poo for days on end but still eats and drinks like normal. I have been to the dr numerous times he said it’s his diet (very fussy eater) but if he’s not in pain not to worry too much but can try laxatives again if he’s not going regularly. It bothers me when he won’t poop and no matter what...
