London (in the uk not Canada) is actually so f-ing gross. Me, my husband, our toddler and our 6 month old went to London Aquarium last Saturday and it was so shite because the greedy bastards didn’t cap the numbers so it was too busy to walk through let alone see fish. Everywhere is dirty and smelly and people are j...

Hi mums, when do you go to Dr about diarrhea in babies? (Under 3 months old) After how many days or how many soiled diapers? My little girl is on day 4 of diarrhea at every feed and inbetween. Roughly 6 diarrheas a day but she’s eating as normal (120ml every 3h) I took her in to Dr last month for same thing but ...

My 8 month old has suddenly become really clingy, he will only let me put him down for a couple of minutes and then if I try to get ready or do a few jobs he will just crawl and follow me and constantly cry which then turns into a scream and is hard to settle. Its making it really hard to get my eldest ready for sch...

Induced at 37+1 for GD, Miss Alora made her appearance fast, waters broke at 15:00 and little miss was in my arms at 19:13 after being 3 cm at my last check at 5:30 😅 unfortunately epidural failed (likely due to my BMI) so just gas and air, if i can suggest anything to anyone thinking of getting the epidural, get…

Okay so have you guys heard about the 17 diapers trend on TIKTOK? Well… last night, while I was lying with my baby (1 week old) on our bed my boyfriend is relaxed everything fine, he gets up and finds one dirty diaper on my babies changing station. He calls my name, says “Tania” I turn his way and he gets all craz...

So my babe has loose stools 99% of her poos and I'm wondering why that might be and if it's normal? Her diet is healthy and she only ever drinks water or milk, no sugary drinks or juices ever. On occasion she will have "normal" poo, like a small version of adults ones 😂 but 9 times out of 10 it's runny and…

Whats the rules on baby pooing?? My LO is just over 4 weeks and hasn't pooed in about 30 hours. For his first 3 weeks he was pooing 7/8 times a day but now we are barely getting 1. He's now exclusively breastfed. Google doesn't seem to help as it says can be 24-48 hours but also can be up to a week? We have tried wa...

My nearly 6 month old has suddenly gone from pooing every few days to about 6/7 times a day! Not diarrhoea or doesn’t seem poorly in himself. Has this happened to anyone else?! Don’t know if it’s normal or not but I’m going through a lot more nappies that’s for sure 🤣

LB pood today after 3 days. He has just started solids so it was … different. Smellier and not runny/soft like before. He struggled to poo. Is anyone else having this problem? Any tips?

She’s 6 months and had explosive diarrhea and rectal temp 38. 1 C. What should I do and what could it be :(

Is it normal for my toddler to have such a bloated belly all the time? He’s had it since being a tiny baby. His belly seems a bit disproportionate to the rest of his body. He’s also got eczema & cradle cap still, just wondering if these symptoms could be caused by something else

Hi my little girl has recently started to cry and scream when burped to the point she cries herself to sleep 🥺. She is nearly 7 WO and is on 4oz. Any tips to help with this? Some feeds she does throw up

Baby girl is now 7 months old and we are still dealing with regular spit up. This isn’t just a dribble, it’s a large amount. She doesn’t seem to be bothered by it, but I’m kind of at my wit’s end. The doctor prescribed Pepcid which she has been taking twice daily for months. We’ve tried all different kinds of formul...

No idea why but this is my second child and the second time round a vibrating bouncer has made them poo! Works wonders within 10 mins. We have this one, worth a try if you have a fussy LO x https://amzn.eu/d/e0gkgQl

Has anyone chosen not to attend the 9-12 month check up for their baby? This is my second and I’ve never found the health visitors helpful, their advice is always a bit outdated.

Little one is 11 months, but I haven't heard from the health visitor about the 1 year checks, should I have by now? Just wondering what the norm is in Portsmouth. Thank you x

So this is a weird one but my baby seems only able to poop while in her car seat. She has not pooped outside of her car seat since she was tiny. This means she can go days between poops but often as soon as we get in the car, she will start straining and crying until eventually she's able to go. We've been to a doct...

Baby is a week old and was pooing several times per day for the first few days of his life. For the past 3 days he has not pooped at all. I think he may have an upset tummy as his farts have been smelly and we sometimes hear his tummy rumbling/ making noises. Not sure what to do at this point as information online...

LO will be 11 months old tomorrow, but we still haven't heard from the HV about when they will visit. Should I be contacting them?

Please let me know what the level number was as well if you’re comfortable posting it.
