My 4-week-old poops about five times a day on average. My midwife told me that’s normal for breastfed babies (he occasionally gets a bottle of formula at night), but it doesn’t feel normal to me since I sometimes go through seven dirty nappies in a day.

My little boy went Monday and Tuesday without pooping, Wednesday morning did a small poo (like liquid) but that was it, Thursday he did one big poo (still liquidy)and then he hasn’t pooed since. Does anyone have any advice as this is unusual for him, normally I get atleast 1 poo a day but this week has been differen...

Anyone's baby on gaviscon and if so how many satachets. My babies on 6 a day and I was wondering what your babies nappy is like? His stool has become more solid now rather then runny? Is this normal?

I feel like an absolute sh*t mum for this we are currently away and I got the mamas and papas baby bath tub as it says on the website it has a anti-slip base for my son as we only have access to a shower my boy is 7months old and has just learnt to pull himself up into a stand so today while I was bathing him he sto...

If your baby has CMPA what were their symptoms? I've googled it and my boy seems to have a lot of the symptoms except he's been gaining plenty of weight 🤷🏻‍♀️ He's breastfed with a top up of formula on a night. He's always been a very fussy baby, lots of wind... Watery poos, possibly with mucus in... Lots of…

When did everyone get their baby boys first hair cut

Can anyone recommend a place they went to to get their baby boy circumcised. I had two recommendations but apparently places have an age bracket they want the child to meet. For example my son is about 3 months going on 4 (he’s also a premie).Both places said he had to be either younger then 1 or 2 months. Thank y...

My baby is 10 days old, she’s started becoming really fussy as though she’s constipated but having a dirty nappy everytime I change her and seems to be so much more hungry the last day. Can anyone help with advice or has anyone experienced this?

My little boy is 8 weeks old and from about 4 weeks up until this last week he has had 1 soiled nappy every other day and it was just a normal poo. We changed his formula as advised by the health visitor and he now goes once a day and isn’t struggling as much. Today he has had 2 soiled nappies that have been very wa...

Hey y’all! I would love to hear your opinion about vaccinations for your babys! I heard a lot of bad stories about it and now hesitate to give my little one all of these shots! What are your thoughts?

Does anyone else’s 18 month old barely drink water? My little girl is constipated but trying to get water down her is such a challenge!! She has a breastfeed in the morning and before her nap and bedtime but I’ve tried giving her new water bottles, it works for a day and then she just is never interested! She’s real...

Hello ladies my baby is 16 months and tonight around 3:00am he cried like crazy. We did everything and thought it was a teething pain but he didn’t stop crying so I told my husband to go to the doctor but when we sat in the car the motion soothes him down he farted twice and slept. Please let me know any colic drops...

So my little one is 8 weeks today and I’ve just happened to notice he has quite a severe upper lip tie. Has anyone had any experience with this and what the solutions are! I feel horrible that I haven’t noticed it sooner but none of the midwives/health visitors or doctors have picked it up either 🥲

I'm a first time mum with a 4 weeks old and I've realised that I don't know the following things: -how will I know when to change bottles teats size? -how will I know that I need to remove the newborn car seat insert (my baby is 4.9kg and 53 centimetres tall). -how will I know when to size up on nappies? (Currently ...

My baby is 8 weeks old and she keeps being sick like clear liquid? Even like an hour or so after her feeds. I was told it could be reflux and I've been trying her with a milk thickener but hasn't seem to shown any improvements as of yet. Anyone else? Unsure if it's normal behaviour.

So I thought I’d share our journey the last week hoping it will help someone else in the same situation 😊 My baby girl is six weeks tomorrow and since we bought her own from the hospital during feeding has always been a fussy thing for her she would bring up her legs, kicking flapping her arms, grizzling. She…
