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…

My nursery want us to start sending them with Sun hats, my daughters hair is 3C/4A big thick and wide curly hair. Hats her size don’t fit, if I size up they’re too lose and fall off. Any suggestions??

My sister has had 6 kids and told me she thinks my son may have an umbilical hernia, reason for this is it's quite solid and it pops out more when he cries. I'm going to ask at my 6 week appointment as I know it's not painful if it is indeed a hernia so don't really think a doctors appointment is needed right away, ...

My LO has not pooed for 11 days now and she has been on laxatives / stool softners for 11 days also. The doctor prescribed her with both in the last 11 days as when we went doctors she hadnt pooed for 11 days before that (but wasnt havnt any laxatives then) but now its got to day 11 and shes taking the medication an...

Hey everyone. My breastfed nearly 3 month old boy hasn’t had a proper poo in about a week now. he is still passing gas and not showing any signs of being in pain. is this normal?

Hi everyone, my LO is currently 1 week and 2 days old I need help. She has been bottle feed for the first week due to having a C-section, taking medication I only started breastfeeding about 2 days ago now I think she might have become constipated or just really gassy maybe because of the breast milk and formula. S...

Today would be day #5 of baby not pooping. He last pooped Monday m. He’s almost 8 months, EBF, with 1-2 solid meals a day (mainly one food at a time puréed since he has excema and I’m ruling out allergies). He has never had constipation issue before. Regular bowel movement daily until maybe 1-2 weeks ago when it swi...

Hello, do you still tell your family members to reschedule if they are ill and not come when they visit? Or am I the only one? My in-laws are often sick and coughing, so I feel a little crazy nagging them about it. All I'm doing is keeping my child safe. I worry he will get sick.

Hi! Im looking for your suggestions on a good toddler shoes. I really like Bobux but i find it too pricey. I was gifted Nike shoes but I found the soles too hard and very difficult to wear to my toddler.

When should I be concerned about my baby feeding less? He's been straining a lot the last few days and we've been to the doctors about it. But the last day, he's hardly fed, had about half of his bottles I'd say. He had a full bottle of 120ml at 7pm and just 30ml since. He is weeing but obviously not as much. Hasn't...

Personally, if a child is unvaccinated, I won’t be bringing my child around them. I’m not willing to put my child’s health at risk, especially with the rise of measles. Do any other moms feel the same, or are you not as concerned?

So I definitely want the bare minimum (if any) vaccines for my soon to be 2 month old. What are the most necessary ones for those of you with a similar mindset? No judgement or comments shaming for my opinion, thanks.

With the 1 year jabs has anyone’s little one been sick with it? Little man had his this morning and he just woke up and was sick everywhere and had the runs. The nurse didn’t say anything about being sick so I’m wondering if it’s a side effect thanks

How can I stop it. My son is 4. I cut his hair down so the bare areas are more noticeable now. I am trying to avoid giving him a lower cut and he would not do well at the barbershop or me cutting it with clippers. I usually trim or cut it some with scissors. He has picked and pulled since he was younger. I admit....

So I am currently breast-feeding my son, and he has not pooped in five days. Naturally, I will call the pediatrician for advice on what to give him to relieve the constipation but I would like to know the experience that you ladies are having with pooping as far as your six month old, any advice? But for further re...

Hi all 7 weeks baby and I’ve noticed him getting more vomit up not only after feeds. He’s straining a lot as well but passing bowels normally and I can tell he’s really uncomfortable. GP has put him on trial for gaviscon. He’s starting to fall asleep on feeds so hard for me to burp him. Anyone had experience with y...
