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. Pushed the first tiny bit into the mouth, he made some sort of a choking sound (he hates taking Calpol), became quiet, all soft, eyes not moving, him not moving…. I freak...

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. She has CMPA however I changed my diet(she's EBF) so don't think is because of this. Possibly reflux? Also, when she's tired, she touches her both ears very aggressively. Is thi...

Is this normal?! I’m a FTM and my baby is 2 weeks old. After his feed today when I went to change him I noticed his belly is extremely round and hard when he tenses up. He has been feeding and pooping normally. I’m very worried.

Anyone’s bab have gurd ?

Anyone else’s toddler suddenly afraid of bathtime?? My toddler now screams at the WORD bath. I know nothing traumatic has happened to him because me, my husband, or my mom are literally the only ones who have ever given him a bath and I’m always around when either of them do it. It started at first that he’d get in ...

My baby is 2 weeks old and usually poops 4+ times a day but the last 2 days he’s only pooped once. He doesn’t seem bothered or like his tummy is hurting, he’s just been farting a lot with no poop. Should I be worried ??? He is fed pumped breast milk and formula

Anyone else little one had their jabs and sleep all day long My little one is always alert and he had his jabs yesterday and all he’s done is sleep but wakes up for feeds every 3/4 hours just wondering is this common

Has anyone given their baby colief drops before? Health visitor suggested we give this a try to help relieve my baby’s colic symptoms but unsure if it’s making her worse or does it get better if you persevere?!

My newborn baby is really struggling every couple of nights, we can have a really good night then she is uncontrollably crying the other! Making me feel like a total failure as I don’t know what’s wrong with her :( don’t know if she’s constipated or if her tummy hurts. Has anyone else had this, looking for some advi...

Hi! I have a 3 months old baby and he cries every time we apply soap during bath. First we thought it might be too cold, so we started mixing some drops in the water and still cries. We tried with Johnson and Johnson and aveeno. Anyone experienced this?

Our first born didn't particularly like bathing either but my 8 week old goes absolutely mad when bathing. Crying so badly, super tense, even though we try to make it as calm as possible, warm environment etc. I'm at my wit's end, she needs a bath at least once a week but feels like at this rate she will never get u...

baby boy is drinking pump milk from bottle . but sometimes is spitting up. is it due too him moving constantly or laying down right after .. him drinking his bottle too fast.. help me out.. do i need to change my diet

My baby girl just turned 6 weeks and she’s on formula and spitting up like crazy even after pace feeding, burping with breaks, and being upright. Is this a phase? And has anyone tried enfamil neuropro ?

16 week jabs yesterday and the nurse really stabbed it in his leg and I was instantly pissed off. It even bounced back and she just stabbed it in. As a result his leg is super swollen and red and if I even touch it lightly, he screams!! At what point do I get it checked? He’s never had a reaction to jabs or needles ...

My 13 month old pooped in the bath and it came out this colour. He’s just recovered from a cold but I’m worried that it shouldn’t be this colour

How much water are your little ones having a day? Helpful to know the ratio to meals also. I can’t find clear guidance on how much they should have and very conscious of preventing constipation. Thank you!

Has anyone dealt with their baby being constipated? If so, any recommendations to help? My baby last pooped on Monday, and it was a soft normal consistency. She’s been farting, but no poop - maybe this is tmi but I need help lol I’ve spoken with her pediatrician and she recommended apple juice, warm bath, belly ma...

My little one is 11 weeks and we’ve tried so many different milks to try and help his constipation…the paediatrition has prescribed sma Athera, which we’ve been on for 2.5 weeks, initially he went 2 days in a row then nothing for a week so we had to add in the laxatives again, so at this point, I’m not sure if it’s ...

Hey, my baby is usually breastfed and if we try to give him formula after the next breastfeed he throws up a lot until there’s only bile left. Docs don’t reckon it’s allergy although we’re not certain but just wondering if anyone else has heard or experienced this?

Does anyone know of a softplay dedicated to under 1s? I went to the arts depot and it was full of 7 year olds so we had to leave! My daughter is beginning to crawl and walk and I think she'd love it. Any suggestions welcome x
