Anyone else going to a chiropractor at this point in pregnancy to get everything aligned? 33 weeks and baby is breech right now so I’m trying everything to get her to flip! I really want a natural vaginal birth, I don’t want to get a c section 😢 looking for encouragement !

My baby is 6 weeks old and is exclusively breastfed. She would usually poop after each feeding but it’s been since early Tuesday morning since she’s pooped. She’s super fussy and uncomfortable as if she’s trying to poop but nothing happens. I’ve tried the Frida windi , “I love you” massage , moving her legs and warm...

Hey moms! How long after birth did you wait to give your baby a bath? 🛀 👶🏼 Did you wait for the umbilical cord to dry up and fall off?

Baby is 6 days old and cries for at least an hour and a half at night time. So so hard to sooth her! We thought it was colic originally, but reading up on colic, it doesn't seem to be. She's pooping and weeing absolutely fine and feeding well. Spoke to a relative who's a health visitor, and they have said its just...

My baby is EBF and we started properly weaning about 2 weeks ago. He hasn’t pooped for 4 days now, whereas before he would go like a clockwork every morning.. I’m wondering if he might be constipated? Has anyone else experienced this with their little one?

Someone please help me I’m at wits end! My LO is 5 weeks old today. He is formula fed (Kendamil). Some days he is completely fine and isn’t sick at all. Other days he is sick all day. Sometimes he is sick after feeds and then for a couple of hours later if I pick him up or move him. He seems to wait to drink mor...

Not sure whether it will be good or bad? I will get ear defenders of course just not sure if it’s a good idea to take my one year old!

Hey all, My little boy had his jabs this morning and was so brave bless him, he’s been fine all day, I stayed ontop of the calpol (though he hates it!) but he refused to take any before bed and now has a temperature of 38.7. I’ve since managed to get him to take 2.5ml of calpol, he seems fine in himself babbling aw...

Our 7 week old has been coughing randomly since birth and has started to squirm a lot and cry when trying to burp. He gags a lot and is congested esp at night time, he’s started to arch his back when he’s lay flat and isn’t enjoying his bottle at all. Hes never sick but he’s been constipated since 3 days old but we’...

Our LO is 13 weeks and just has his 12 week jabs today at 11:30. He was fine after just a little clingy but since 4pm he has just been sleeping, when awake he is crying and is inconsolable, loads of tears and it’s very upsetting to see. He’s a lot worse compared to the 8 week jabs I have given him some calpol and ...

My baby is now six weeks and has only been pooping once every 2 days for the last 3 weeks and now he’s doing 3 or 4 times a day. Is anyone else’s LO going that many times a day?

Does anybody know if you can just have the MMR vaccine and not the other 3?? I don’t want him to have the other 3.

So my 20 month old is still breastfeeding at least once or twice in 24/h, this morning she was breastfeeding shortly after she threw up, I gave her breakfast as usual once we got ourselves up and ready for the day, had some breakfast (didn’t finish all) and shortly after she threw up again. Could this be a stomach b...

I have just noticed that quite far inside my baby’s bellybutton is scabby. I’m assuming this is from the umbilical cord, but he is now 12 weeks old and wondered if anyone knows if it’s normal for it to still be a little scabby inside at this stage?

Hello 👋 little one is now 7 months, she has started solids and is formula fed, the health visitor has said about giving water, I have been offering this in a sippy cup the last month, however I don’t think she’s actually drinking much! I’m aware there supposed to only have a few oz a day, but she’s taking less than…

My little boy is nearly 5 months and he’s really struggling in terms of constipation. We went to the Drs and they gave us some lactulose which works sometimes and doesn’t others. We have found this week it’s not been working as well but we can tell he’s in a bit of discomfort because he’s trying to poo so hard mo...

Who is letting there one year old have there 1 year jabs ?

Hi, just wondering if anyone has a recommendation for an acupuncturist in the Boston area? Thanks!

My LO had a massive blow out on Monday and hasn't pooed since. He's EBF - how long until I worry? He seems uncomfortable and straining
