Toddler 💩

My toddler has been pooing 4+ times a day for about a week now. It’s absolutely exhausting!! She normally does 1-2 per day max. Nothing has changed with her diet, she is well within herself so don’t think it’s a stomach bug. Any ideas?

Reflux

If your babies have reflux, what have you done to manage it? My baby has it for more than 2 months and everyone keeps saying it's normal but I wonder if that's what's been keeping her unsettled. She spits up more frequently before and nowadays she seems to swallow them instead and showing symptoms of silent reflux.

Trauma in the body?

Not everyone has a PERFECT birth experience. I am doing some chiropractic care and Accupuncture (I was doing this while pregnant as well). But after my birth, I’m curious about some holistic options? Anyone have any recommendations for bodywork/somatic therapy/ addressing trauma stored in the body?

Epidural

Ok so I got epidural when I gave birth to my son in may and today I am having the worst back spasms like I can’t even carry my son and it’s only the one side of my back too. I feel it would be pointless to go too the doctor. So what can I do?

Bath time 11weeks old

Do you put bubbles in your baby’s bath? My mum just asked where his bubbles are in the bath but I thought he would be too young to have them and don’t know what age appropriate is for them to have bubbles.
