How is everyone washing their toddlers hair. My little girl loves a bath but hates getting her hair washed. I’ve tried a shower and she petrified of it. She hates water on her face I’ve tried laying her back no use. I have just ended up just pouring a cup of water over her head and then shampoo then another cup but ...

My girl is 18 weeks and due her 16 week injections tomorrow so we are already slightly behind schedule. However she is very bunged up, unhappy and teething right now, part of me wants to cancel them. I’m not sure if this will be a problem though if she has them late? Did anyone else have them late?

My LB is 3 weeks old, he will go a couple of days without pooing which I know is normal in newborns but when he’s not been his tummy gets so bloated and he screams and cries straining trying to poo. We’ve tried tummy massages and bicycle legs and this never helps. When he does poo there’s a lot of it and it’s quite ...

i currently use this bath seat for my 3 month old but she is too big for it now any suggestions of another bath seat? she can’t sit up on her own yet

Hello! My baby is 4 weeks old. In the past week she started fussing on the bottle, where she looks hungry takes the bottle then spits it out and cries then takes it again. She still seems hungry after finishing her bottle so I give her more but then she throws up a lot after that, so makes me think I over fed her. I...

My little boy has his 8 week jabs tomorrow😢 any tips/advice please?

Hey mamas, my husband feels very deflated that our baby cries when he carries her and only feels comfort with me. Baby is 3weeks old and I breastfeed so I feel that’s built our bond more. He’s never done skin to skin with her- is it too late to build a bond through skin to skin with him? Xx

Has anyone had this jab yet? And any info behind it please.. I have heard it brings on prem labour?!

At what age did everyone take their little ones to the soft play? I have a 11 month old and just wondering if it’s work taking her or if she’s too little😅

Anyone more gassy than before? I’m not sure if it’s what I’m eating but I never been so gassy. Or so regular. Baby is also quite “fatty” and is or normal for 6week olds farts to smell. Or something we’re- I’m eating is probably an intolerance?

Any tips for washing baby on holiday, there’s no bath only a shower and the sink doesn’t have a plug and she isn’t able to sit up right yet?

My son is 6 weeks old today and has been colicky for about a week. He will literally cry all day. Gas relief, probiotic, anti colic bottles, burping in between ounces, sitting upright for 30 minutes after a bottle, warm bath, swaddling…literally NOTHING helps. Please give me tips😭 Sincerely, An exhausted FTM

My baby is 3 weeks old and whilst I can watch in the daytime if she’s sick after a feed, I regularly burp throughout the feed, then a big burping after finished feeding, then keep her upright for 10-15 mins before laying down on back in the next to me crib at night. But she still sometimes is sick, it worries me but...

My first baby had her relese at 10 days old. My second baby will be 6 weeks old this week, and will be getting his release tomorrow. Has anyone's baby had their release done this late? How terrible was it for the baby the next few days? Was it worth it? I am so scared that it will be just an awful experience f...

What can I give her?

I know CPR and how to use an AED and would be comfortable doing so on a stranger in an emergency

So my 8 week old hates the bath. Screams the place down. Tonight it almost made me cry. She’s not in for long. We set the temp at 37. I put a muslin or facecloth over her to keep her warm. Try calming words etc etc but she just absolutely hates it and it seems to be getting worse rather than better. Anyone any tips?...
