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?

Does anyone know of any large second hand playpens available to purchase? I have a very adventurous little girl and could do with somewhere safe to place her now and again to play. Unsure if she will use it so keen to get one second hand.

My Lo is 3 weeks old today and wow she farts like an adult🤣 very loud and often stinks! Anyone else’s baby like this or just mine?

What symptoms did you get if you've experienced an anal fissure? Nothing to see on the external son presuming it's internal Thankyou X

Has anyone ever had the doctor prescribe lactulose for their newborn and if so, how much did you have to give them? My little girl is 4 weeks and very constipated, I think it’s due to the hungry baby milk she is on. I combo feed with breastmilk too so hoping that it helps her poo as well but it’s been nearly 24 h...

How is everyone showering? my fiancé working from 9 in the morning to 11 at night now. How are y’all managing to shower with a newborn. my little boy is almost 4 weeks old, and has recently started to get mad anytime i put him down.

how long after baby’s cord fell off did u wait to bath them

Hi has anybody else’s child 48 hour after 12 month vaccinations suffered with bending there legs especially one more than the other, when they do bend they scream out in a cry. Please let me know

My LO has had so many digestive issues that I have completely forgotten what normal poo should look like. This might be a weird request but can you share photos of what you consider a normal poop consistency?

I had the biggest scare yesterday. My baby ate and I put her in a bouncer after awhile she ended up falling asleep in it. (Which I was going to take her out because I heard it’s not good for them to sleep in one) My baby then started to choke in her sleep and it lasted about 3 minutes she was turning red/purplish. I...

If you give your baby a bath and their diaper is still dry from before the bath, do you... put the old diaper back on, it's still dry and clean, no need to waste a dry diaper OR throw out the dry diaper and put on a fresh diaper anyway??

If the 12-week jabs are delayed after the first lot, does it make a difference? Baby girl is 14 weeks now, and her 12 week jabs have been cancelled twice by our GP and they are yet to make a new appointment for us 🥴

My 3 year old has tonsillitis and I'm 99% sure I have it too, I feel horrendous and it's proving very difficult to care for 2 children (both my girls are on antibiotics 😭). I now looked and it says the average wait time right now is 3 hours 😱 Do you get given a time to return when it's this busy or do you HAVE to…

How was your LO after the 12 week jabs compared to the 8 weeks? Just wondering whether to expect a similar reaction or not

So my little girl attends the same nursery that I work at (she’s in the baby room and I’m in the toddler room) and on Thursday she came home and she had a dirty and sore bum from pooing yet her diary said she only had wet nappies all day but when they checked the nappy chart it turned out that it wasn’t filled in🙃…

I hope this isn’t TMI but desperately looking for advice or just solidarity - I’m a FTM and 13 weeks pregnant with twins and I’ve spent the past few months battling with chronic constipation that’s leading to fissures and pure agony - I’ve tried all the recommended things and am at a loss, worried that it’s only goi...
