I know breastfed babies can go days without pooping and babies her age cluster feed but I’m pretty sure my little girl isn’t getting full because she’s not pooping. She eats for 30-40 minutes and then death screams like she’s still starving. I know I make enough because I have replaced latching with pumping and I’m ...

I’ve accidentally recycled the questionnaire that I was sent by the health visitor for the 27 month check.. I don’t want to rock up tomorrow and have the embarrassment of not having it ready. I’m already nervous about the driving and parking. I’ve found it online I think but could anyone just confirm I’ve got the ri...

My LO has out grown the angelcare bath seat now. She is still on the small side. Does anyone have any recommendations for a sit in bath thing for them now they’re bit bigger. Thanks

My baby hasn't had a poo since Thursday and is very irritable, at times she's screaming in pain. She's hungry but is mainly refusing to take a bottle and when she does is vomiting. I've done all the usual tricks, belly rub, bicycle legs, baby massage, bath etc. Nothing is helping. Any advice? Or will I need to conta...

Hi my baby is 11 weeks, has had blood in his nappy for 8 weeks constantly. Hospital advised to cut CMP out of my diet. I’ve cut it now for three weeks and there’s still blood. He’s on a waiting list for paediatrics but it could be up to 32 weeks wait. Anyone else had this issue?

We're currently using a baby bath which sits in the floor of our shower, but once our baby outgrows that and it's no longer suitable, not really sure what to do! I know some children get used to showering from a very early age but not sure how to go about this. If you have just a shower, what did you do? 🙂

So my girl is 6 weeks. She has really bad reflux on normal formula. Will scream in pain for a good hour after a feed and bring up milk quite a few times. She has been on anti-reflux milk which solved this issue but made her massively constipated. She was given laxatives to help with this but she was then having 10+ ...

Does anyone know what I can do to help my lo to poop. It’s been over 24 hours and I’m a little concerned because he was going like every other nappy. He’s formula fed and 9 days old. He’s farting a lot and I think he’s got a bit of a sore tummy.

Hi all. Looking for anyone who has been through the same or similar thing. My LO is 6 weeks old and been formula fed since 4 weeks old. He was on Mamia formula from Aldi since being born he has always been quiet a sicky baby sick after EVERY feed and quiet ALOT just from being sick we change him multiple times a da...

Any tips please? My baby used to love the bath and water etc but since being back from holiday (6 weeks ago) he has hated having a bath! He’s hysterically crying 🥺 finding it so hard to bath him - any advice would be appreciated 🫶🏼

I’m wondering if anyone else’s nearly 8 week old still has completely watery poo? My daughter has silent reflux doctor gave us baby Gaviscon which made my LO constipated. But that’s the only time my LO hasn’t had basically watery poo. It’s always explosive and seems to only be getting worse as it’s now leaking from ...

Hi is anyone's little one going through loose watery stools at the minute?she's 5 months. It's coming up 7 days and the NHS website says to go to GP if it doesn't clear up after 7 days? Baby seems ok in herself and not dehydrated plenty of wet nappies and wet tears, no temperature. Seems to happen after bottle feed...

My mother in law fed my baby honey tea 😭😭😭 she says it’s no big deal but now I’m freaking out about botulism. Anyone go through anything similar?? Nurses line said watch for constipation but he’s a breastfed baby and now I’m just overly examining everything. The one time my mother in law babysat!

I'm so worried about all the illnesses our toddler would bring home to our newborn (to be born in late winter).

Our baby has always had a digestive related witching hour, but her gassiness has significantly increased in the last week. Our formula has started the same, so I’m not sure it’s that and no diarrhea or rashes. Anyone else experience this?

For anyone who is currently doing it. How do I know if a food I’m eating is bothering my daughter? I wouldn’t define her as colicky per se. But she is overall a fussy-ish baby. She’s happy when she’s nursing and usually for a few of her wake windows she is happy. But otherwise I feel like I’m constantly feeding he...

Assuming they don’t live far away, how often do your inlaws visit the baby? Also assuming we are not close and don’t really like doing visits due to issues there. Do you think there is a minimum we have to do?

Few days ago found out about this vaccine😵‍💫i then asked few friends who already had done it for their kids. I then looked at nhs and googled and just surprised i didn’t know about it at all. Not nhs obviously but privately. Me and husband both had it, son is not - he is 3 at nursery for a year…. Just want to…

I can't remember... but is it normal for breastfed babies to have green poo at times?

My 9 week old has been constipated for 3 days now. I have given infacol before a feed but no luck. Any advice?
