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

How are people managing colic ?

Hey all I’m just over 20 weeks now and just wanna check if it’s normal to be pooping a lot 😂 I feel like I have to go to the loo more than once a day and it’s like I poop once for myself and once for the baby or more accordingly 😂😂😂 I just find this hillarious 😂

Tell me more…show off his first cut!

My LO, 6weeks, always spits up after feeds despite having him burped and kept upright for 30min. Even after an hour he would still spit up and get hiccup. We are very limited in what we can do because of having to have him upright and whilst doing that, he falls asleep. What do you mummies do with lots of spit ups...

How to cope with colicky baby? My little one is really unsettled with it. I’ve been using colief in her bottles but it doesn’t seem to be helping. Tried walks in the pram and drives in the car but she just screams the whole time! I can’t put her down without her screaming😭😭 really am struggling

Hi there, does anyone know about any activities for pregnant women in or around Bath? I was given some recommendations for toddler groups but might feel a bit weird going there still pregnant. Any advice is welcome, thank you! :)

I rung my health visitor the other day to see when my daughter would be having her next check as I thought there was one between 9-12 months, I got told they don’t do them anymore? And her next check would be at 15 months! She had a visit at 6 months but I feel like sooooo much changes between 6-15 months surely th...

Has anybody else found there LO being constipated far more often now they’ve started weaning? If so, how did you combat it? My LO hasn’t pooed since Saturday

Good morning! Can anyone recommend a play pen? I’ve got a medium sized living room but the space I’m looking to put in isn’t very big (if that makes sense🤣) My baby is nearly 8 months old and she’s very close to crawling and can get herself about the living room and it’s a nightmare when trying to get anything…

My baby is being prescribed milk to trial for suspected CMPA. Been to the docs in regards to his constipation and reflux and other symptoms but due to the reflux they don’t want to give gaviscon hence why they’re giving him the milk as it can apparently cause constipation. I’ve read up on so many different people’...

My newborn went from sharting every nappy change which lead to a bum rash, to hasn’t pooped in a few days… (which has consequently healed her butt rash yay!) Should I be worried? she’s EBF. Has lots of wet nappies. But her number of feeds have reduced per day… but half of those feeds she’s drinking longer than she...

Hi mums, Looking for support, experience and/or advice. I think our little guy has reflux. He’s almost 10 weeks. Today I ate quite a bit of spicy food, and a coffee late in the day. I don’t remember the last solid feed but around 8:40pm he went from relaxed overall to scream crying. He only ever cried like this ...

My little guy (11 months) has just had a respiratory virus that he got from his sister and when he was starting to get over that he has developed diarrhea, it was pretty bad the first few days and h...

Heya mamas, what do you all do for after the bath? My baby girl loves the bath, just hates the changing, getting lotioned, and getting dressed afterwards. I keep a calm tone, put on calm music, and warm the changing table before putting her down. The only time she calms down is if there is a bottle in her mouth (she...
