I’m always second guessing myself. My little girl, now 12 weeks old has been doing dirty nappies once every 3 days on average for last 2 weeks. She’s been gaining weight very slowly. Hv concerned gp not. Today she has done 4 dirty nappies so far… they seem to be while I’m breastfeeding her. The poo looks normal ...

I’ve heard that they won’t do the 8 week jabs if your little one is poorly. My little girl caught this cold off her big sister last weekend, she has a little bit of a dry cough & sounds snuffly but otherwise hasn’t had a temperature, she’s drinking all her bottles as normal, wet nappies, is her normal happy self. I...

My baby turned 1 on 2nd December and we started mixing in cows milk into his formla bit by bit, he was absolutely fine with this, we then gave him pure cows milk but he was very gassy and pooped a lot and they were sloppy poops. We went back to formula and cows milk then was ok but we ran out of formula now so since...

My little boy was 5 weeks early and they blamed feeding issues/inability to latch and colic on him having a small mouth because he was young. A week ago my midwife said she thinks he has a tongue tie and the health visitor agrees. We had a tongue tie assessment today and they said he has a posterior tongue tie but s...

Partner got in an accident before thanksgiving, apparently the insurance is still looking at it he says. It’s almost Christmas. There was one car involved and one video. Is this true? I think he’s lying to be honest

My baby boy got his 8 week immunisation yesterday and the dr said to give him calpol every 4 hours and I am dyslexic and when I read the bottle it says to give no more than 4 doses but that’s in 3-6 months and 2 month olds should only have 2 doses per 24 hours so he’s had 2 extra doeses. He seems fine but should I r...

I’m 33 weeks pregnant and received a letter a few weeks ago saying that a health visitor would be making a home visit today between 9am-12pm (still time but I’m doubting anyone will show up) No one has turned up yet 🙃 and since receiving the letter I haven’t received any texts or calls to confirm it etc. has this…

My little boy is 5 weeks old and has projectile vomited twice in the last 2 days both times about half hour after a feed and he’s been sat up both times. He’s also been bringing a little milk up after most feeds. I kept him upright for half hour after a feed and he’s totally happy in himself anyone else experiencing...

Worried because everyone is telling me I'm cruel getting them done so close to christmas😂 but I imagine she'd be fine by then

For last week and a half/2 weeks baby has been a bit constipated. I didn’t notice the first few days as poo was balls and he’s done that before and then gone back to normal. He is still getting to the toilet so he’s not completely constipated but he’s straining and only small balls come out at a time. I’ve tried fru...

How do you keep the water out of your little one’s eyes and face when washing their hair? Appreciate any tips 🥰

Has anyone dealt with baby having a lip tie and affecting breastfeeding? The lactation specialist noticed it in my little guy this afternoon, and we see the pediatrician tomorrow. I feel so horrible that I didn't notice his problem nursing until now and it's affected his weight.

Bit of a strange one but my 4 week old really seems in distress at night time, she brings her legs into her belly, strains, screams, her face goes bright red and her whole body goes tense. This only seems to be at nighttime, she will still bring her legs into her stomach in the day time and move about but ahead does...

My daughter has her 8 week jabs on Christmas Eve and I’m so scared. Christmas is quite difficult for me and her dad for our own reasons, and I was really hoping this year being our first as a family could mean something to really enjoy and look forward to. But I’m seeing nothing but horror stories of babies first ja...

Am I missing something? I keep seeing posts mentioning their health visitor? I haven’t seen one since maybe his weigh in before 8 weeks? Are we meant to have one constantly????

When your husband picks child from nursery twice with a poo nappy… shall I address this with the nursery or wait until it happens again?

Baby boy is 5 months old & he is still in so much pain and unsettled constantly after feeds. On neocate hydrolysed milk from peads but I just don’t know whether he has a milk allergy or whether is was colic/reflux.. thinking of asking for different brand of hydrolysed milk or going onto goats milk.. any advice appre...

My toddler has been suffering with constipation for the past 3 months and she gets constipated at least once a week. One week she did not poo for 5 days and she now has scars on her anus from all the straining she does when she gets constipated. I give her prune puree regularly and sometimes lactulose but both are a...

Has anyone had theirs done already, what should I expect?

Hi, my little boy will be 9 weeks old on Thursday and we still haven't had our appointment through for his 8 week jabs! I've chased it up a few times and been told I should get a letter this week... Has anyone else had theirs late? I'm starting to get worried. I'll ring them again tomorrow but just wanted other opi...
