Baby is 7 months old but won’t drink any water with meals. She is a bit constipated. Any tips on getting her to drink water? Tried with the cup from health visitor!

Hey, just wondered if anyone had applied for a first passport for their little ones recently and was wondering how long they are roughly taking to turn up at the moment? Tia 😊

How/when was your LO diagnosed with CMPA? Context- my LO is almost 10 weeks and we have been dealing with reflux and horrible gas issues. He is a fussy & uncomfortable baby most of the day except just after gas or poop movement. So far Ive been told it’s just reflux & colic and he will grow out of most of it by 12...

Feel completely fed up with little ones reflux. She’s 7 months old now, and still spitting up hours after feeds and when she’s on her tummy. She’s been weaning since 5 months due to reflux and she was doing really well but over the last few days as soon as she has a mouthful of lumpy food, she will gag and the entir...

Hi all Looking for some advice. My LO is now 3 months old and we have been on a feeding journey from the start. He was EBF for the first 7 weeks, I then had to combi feed and eventually we went to strictly formula feeding around 4 weeks ago. I did wonder when I was BF if he had an allergy to milk given he was...

Could the milk I’ve been using be causing he’s constipation? He’s pooing but screams in pain and when it comes out it’s solid the size of a rock!

My little one is due her 8 weeks jabs soon and really torn on letting her have them, what’s everyone’s opinion on them and if your little one had them ? How they was after?

Hey moms, I have a newborn, 1 month old. Hasn’t pooped since 1am this morning so we’re coming up on 24 hours, hasn’t slept all day, very obviously uncomfortable. I’ve been doing the crunches and belly rubs, we did the warm bath, gave him some gas relief drops. He’s farting just not pooping. Any tips? Thank you!

So I’ve just had my antenatal health visit home visit and I found it very informative. She spoke to us about breastfeeding, our overall health and wellbeing, our background info such as what we do for work etc, she also signed me up for antenatal breastfeeding support so I’m booked in for my first one on the 7th of ...

Baby does poo normal but there's quite a few tiny poos like a couple dots seems like it came out with a fart. It's very regular so I'm going through a thousand nappies! Anyone else?

She constantly has trapped wind and gets really upset with the pain. I’ve tried different exercises etc doesn’t matter how much she gets winded she will sleep for 20 minutes then wake up in pain as soon as she farted she falls back to sleep but then about 20 minutes later she’s crying in pain again 🤦🏽‍♀️ first we…

Hi, my lo is 2 months old and since the last 2 days she has every morning or 2 times per day dirty nappy (like very loose and greenish) before she had maybe every 3 days and more solid. Lately she has a running nose and temperature 71-71.3 every evening. What could possible be? I didn’t change her formula lately, Sh...

Can anyone recommend some that fit a little toddler head and stay on please? 🤣 my daughter has some standard kids ones from M&S but they slip off so going anywhere when she’s wearing them takes a thousand stops of her fussing to put them back on 😆

How often does your 8/9mo poo now?

My MIL in critically ill in hospital (in a coma) there are signs soon that she could be waking up out of it. The road to recovery could be a long while, but I don't feel comfortable taking my daughter (3) to visit once she is in a ward. Just because I don't think it will be good for my daughter to see her like that...

I have baby’s 8 week vaccinations today, (even tho she’s only turned 7 weeks yesterday) for those who have already had them, how was baby with them? I’m gonna give her a bottle straight after and I’ve heard people recommend giving a bit of calpol just before but I’m supposed to be going to my uncles for a party in t...

How many times do we need to bathe a newborn ? Like how many times a week?

My LO was on Aptamil from brith until Saturday just gone so just over 7 weeks, we have changed him to kendamil due to him having really bad gas and being uncomfortable. He now is constantly pooping, near enough every nappy has some in , will this die down after he’s used to it or do I need to swap again ? Just a con...

Hello! My 2mo baby is super colicky and gassy. I've tried gripe water, holding her 15-20 minutes after eating, belly rubs and tummy massages. It seems like if she's awake she's crying and it's getting hard to handle. Any other tips?? I have heard I should cut out dairy as I exclusively breastfeed. Mammas who've done...

My son had his jabs done yesterday and we were told to give Calpol as one of the vaccines would all but certainly give him a fever anyway. We gave two doses so far and he is due a bath tomorrow. What if he is still groggy by then ? When should a bath not be given
