Advice on how to get my 11.5 month old daughter to stop playing in the dog bowls? She is constantly giving toys a “bath” or splashing in it.

Hi, should a baby burp after every feed? I find I cannot get my baby to burp after every feed and frightened when I put him down back to sleep, he will be sick everywhere.

The last time my baby pooped was last Wednesday. He is exclusively breast-fed, but this is the longest he’s gone without pooping. He is straining and arching his back quite often passing gas, but no poop. He’s very fussy. I gave him prune juice diluted with water yesterday. Not sure what else to do, at what point do...

Yesterday my 3yo discovered how to unbuckle himself in the car seat. Now he can do it easily in just a few seconds, both buckle and chest clip. Is there a product out there that prevents this? Has anyone else experienced this? What has worked? Please help!

Does anyone else's baby have an absolute meltdown after bathtime when trying to put vest and pyjamas on? It's like we're trying to bathe him in acid! It's really stressful. Playing dancing fruits or having his piano playing next to him helps a bit but I honestly don't get why he hates being dressed so much!

7 month has suddenly started to hate bath time .. nothing has changed don’t know what to do

So my little girl has had 4 blowouts in 6 days. The consistency of her poo seems okay but a little on the runny side. I shouldn’t laugh but this girl burped, projectile vomited her bottle that she had just drank, farted and blew out all at the same time! She is completely fine in herself but I’m just wondering the c...

So my son is almost 2 and I’ve noticed for the past past 2 months now he’s really fussy during diaper changes he kicks and cries as if he has a bad diaper rash but when I go to check him he has nothing. Just wondering if anybody else is dealing with this or has dealt with it because it’s starting to be really heavy ...

I’ve never had any issues downstairs issue before but after birth I’m noticing maybe my Ph is off? This is new territory for me do most people use a body wash or vitamin for this sort of thing?

Can I use bepantham on baby’s sore neck crease from spit up? I’ve only noticed it today or what else can i use to please as it looks so sore

Yes it’s normal for a baby to poop after every feed, but my baby sometimes poops THREE TIMES a feed. Last week he was pooping normal just a few times a day and then out of nowhere he started going like 10-15x a day and we haven’t changed anything he’s on the exact same formula as always. I feel so bad for him becaus...

Does anyone else’s baby gets really bad constipation? My little girl is almost 5 months and has always been constipated since she were a few weeks old. She’s been on lactulose but it wasn’t working on it’s on so we changed milk and then she didn’t pass her bowels for 5/6 days and she has a doctors appointment tomorr...

My baby is just over 4 weeks old. He's formula fed with cow and gate and tales 4 oz bottles every 3-4 days. I try bicycle leg movements and massage his tummy but he only seems to pass alot of gas, even though we wind him after every bottle. Does anyone know if changing his formula would make a difference? Or of ...

Hello, my little one will be 6 weeks on Thursday and he's still constipated on formula. He goes every 2-3 days and once in a blue moon is it the consistency that it should be. Unfortunately he's passing almost solid nuggets and I feel terrible for him... Sometimes it's mainly green and other times it's green and a l...

Has anyone given their child lactulose daughter really struggling to go to the toilet so painful and the straining is unbelievable. Do you syringe it? Was it just 5ml twice a day

Genuine question how do you all go about getting a health visitor appointment to check your child A development. Because I have been messaging for an hour and for some reason they won't book the appointment. They just keep sending leaflets over it's very patronising.

My 11 week old has always had issues with gas. It has gotten a whole lot better! But I was wondering if anyone has any magical tips for those super stubborn gas bubbles to release. We give gas drops as needed, and every night before bed. Do the bicycle kicks, tummy rubs, hip rotations, etc. but seeing if someone fo...

My baby is going to be 12 weeks. Just until recently she started to not poop everyday. Which I know is normal for EBF babes. But when she does poop it is a HUGE liquidy blowout. It is coming out every side of the diaper. Is this normal? I’m not concerned about the diaper size bc the amount of poop is just. ALOT.

My LO is 8 weeks old and formula fed. Since birth she has had pretty regular bowel movements typically going every other day. She never has a problem with winding nor has she had any problems with passing gas since adjusting to milk after birth. …but we’re on day 3 or 4 of not pooping now and I’m starting to get a ...

My 3 month old had her vaccinations today. Gave her 2.5ml calpol but can’t remember if I shook it, let alone for the 10 seconds it says it needs to be shaken for 😫 am I overthinking this?! Will she be ok??
