Formula fed baby

But doesn’t stop crying or settle easily at all he’s also a lot gassier , could this be colic ? If so what are you using for 2 months old to help with colic pains?

Reflux???

My 2 week old in the last few days has started bringing up abit of milk/sick 5 minutes or so after a feed. It’s not masses, and other than a few minutes of fussing before he throws up he’s a very happy and content baby. Other than sitting him up after feeding, and trying to slow his feeds, is there anything I can do...

Screaming, bright red in the face. His farts smell like literally rotting eggs. I’ve tried absolutely everything and nothing is working and I’...

My kids are mandated to have vaccines for daycare but the flu and Covid are not Mandatory. The pediatricians office has had me sign refusal paper...

Making herself sick

It seems to be one thing after another, My 11 month old lg is making herself sick when she eats. There's nothing wrong with her except teething. But it seems she puts it on her tongue and then does a gag reflex making herself sick. It's not with everything, she eats a yoghurt and fruit fine but other types of food...

Reflux babies.

My baby has always had reflux and is on anti reflux milk which has helped a lot. She barely gets sick anymore except from what the average baby does from time to time. She’s always held up for 20 minutes after her last bottle before bed and during the day she is either held up, put in her bouncy chair or pram after ...

2’nd time Mom

Are you planning to send your first born to daycare after new baby is born? My doctor said they would bring diseases home so dont send daycare for first few weeks. But if I keep him home ,I need to give all attention to him.

Straining baby

Does anyone else’s baby seem to strain and go red in face when they’re trying to poo? We took my LO to drs and they say it’s normal for his age (he’s 2 weeks 4 days) but he seems so uncomfortable! He’s also started spitting up more just recently it’s been so hard to settle him last couple days 😭

Calpol struggles

Had vaccines yesterday. Gave 3 doses of Calpol, decided to see how the night would go. Woke up to a super hot baby at 3am, decided to give Calpol.

Vomiting at night and touching ears

Hi mums. Just wondering if your babies may vomit all of a sudden at night. This happens to my girl sometimes, maybe once or twice a month.
