Looking for positive stories from anyone who has a really colicky baby. Our daughter cries everytime she is awake for the whole wake window and it’s constant jiggling her around and trying to distract her until it’s time to sleep again. I can’t put her down at all, screams in the car, screams in the pram. I’m curr...

My 7 week old has started crying during feeds but only on the evening. Has anyone had this?

My baby was sat with my step-children (9 & 7) and I came in to him crying. He had a red nose and a red mark on his head and I asked if he had fallen off the bed. They both nodded and couldn’t commit to a set story of what had happened (I’m not mad at them, I shouldn’t have left children in charge of a child) however...

Going out of my mind here with worry. My 13 month old girl for the last 2.5 weeks has had very explosive, loose, watery poos. No other symptoms, no temp, no vomiting. I took her to the doctors after a week and they suggested it could be a temporary lactose intolerance after an infection, to cut dairy out and see ...

My sweet girl seems like she’s struggling so hard to poop. She cries like she’s in pain and is so fussy, everytime I check her diaper after crying and grunting she only has a little or tiny pieces. Is there anything I can do to help her?

Trying to plan my day around the appointment and I have no idea how long the appointment is!

Hey mommas. My youngest is now 22 months old. I was on the phone with my best friend and we was talking about my labor and delivery which she was in the room for. She mentioned that they gave me a spinal block instead of a epidural. I had a epidural for sure with my oldest and it was easy and almost painless. With m...

My little girl has her 8 week injections tomorrow and I’m so nervous!! I know everyone’s babies react differently but just looking to hear about others experiences and what to expect.

Can anyone tell me how long it took to get a payment from EDD? I filed 4 weeks ago, today is my due date ( still waiting for baby), and i have received nothing and no communications from them in 3 weeks. Im getting pretty stressed financially!

My midwife told me that I've got PGP and told me to self refer to Physio through my Badger notes. I'm really struggling to find it, does anyone have any ideas where it is on the Badger notes?

What can you do if your ehcp wait time has exceeded the 20 week wait? It’s now week 24, i have had to delay sending my son to school (he turned 4 in July) as there’s no way i could send him to mainstream without an ehcp, but still after 24 weeks we don’t even have a draft. What can i do?

Has anyone experienced a blood test for a baby? I’ve been asked to get our 10 month LO a blood test for suspected coeliac and I am petrified!

My 2.5yo suddenly seems absolutely fine with everything with milk in it (we haven’t tried yoghurt or milk on its own yet) but she hasn’t reacted to anything else?! This is a child that was throwing up 50 times a day at one point from the allergy and was hospitalised twice from having cheese given to her at her old...

Hey everyone, my 7 week old has always had issues with feeding as he was tongue tied and we had it released about 2 weeks ago now. So he has always been a very sicky baby and always suffered with acid reflux and being bloated etc. however, now every afternoon from 3ish until really late at night (once he starts to ...

My family would like to group together and get my baby (nearly 8 months at Christmas) a big indoor toy. We're looking at Iglu. Pickler triangle and ramp or...something else. Would love to hear people's experiences? Recommendations? We live in a flat so don't have a lot of room and need to be super careful not to e...
