Is there anything I should add to her milk to help? I tried using a suppository, but nothing else has helped. I need something natural or something I can buy and add to the milk.

Is anyone else extremely gassy since giving birth? Baby is also gassy (not sure if it’s linked)

I have an active 10 nearly 11 month old and really think she would like soft play now but concerned she would be too small. I know some have baby areas but some don’t or are very tiny often with older kids in it. Has anyone used soft play for this age or can recommend one that might be good with a decent baby area. ...

I know it's obviously poo but you know that good fart smell, is it some maternal instinct that your babies poo smells good or am I weird?

Has anyone’s LB had this ?? Apparently mine needs surgery to remove it :( and they will do it after his 2nd birthday. Which is in a month. They need to do a scan first to confirm the hernia and then book surgery

Random question, but I remember my mom always did it and for me as a kid the adult farts were gross to me. I swore I‘d never fart like that lol and especially not in front of my kids haha. Here we are on the other side and I don’t know.. I don’t want to give my kids the feeling that farting is something unnatural or...

Hi ladies, my baby was diagnosed with CMPA when she was 10 days old, she had blood in her poo. She is EBF and I started doing the diet (dairy, soy and egg free) back then, after 6 weeks the blood disappeared but she now has very watery poos, right color (yellow) and sometimes very often that make me think that she g...

hi everyone, i have a 7 week old that recently has gone from finishing full 4oz/ 5oz bottles every feed to only sometimes drinking 2oz/3oz and i’ve noticed today he’s not had a dirty nappy in 24hrs!! but plenty of wet ones! Noah was a small baby when born at 5lb 7oz and is now 8lb 9oz, any advice much appreciated! i...

i feel like any time i leave mine IN the candle it pools around the wicks and i can’t use the candle anymore so i either dump mine in the trash or poor it into a wax melt so i can reuse it later lol

My boy is rapidly approaching 6 months now, and is soon going to be outgrowing his initial baby bath. What do we use after this? I see on the NHS website they advise against the suction seats but what can we use instead? Edit: to be clear I DONT want to use a seat- I'm just looking for safe alternatives for baby's...

How often is everyone bathing their 5m olds?

I took my son to the dentist (he’s about to be 3 next month) he has a cavity in one of his molars. Dentist recommended to have him numbed and have the cavity filled… he has to be strapped to be able to do this.. anyone else done this? I’m so nervous and idk what to do

Hi, I am wanting some advice and wondering what you guys think of my babys symptoms. Hi is 5 weeks and fully formula fed- currently cow and gate. He is very fussy, he will not settle through the day at all if i try to put him down in his moses basket, sometimes he will settle in my arms but other times he will be ...

Anyone else had a nearly 4m old just randomly start screaming the place down after their bath? But when in the bath he’s all smiles and happy🫠 he’s been great with baths since he was born but it’s just started happening after every bath now 😭

My baby girl is going on 20 weeks old. And she’s mostly formula - fed taking the brand Kendamil. Before, she used to be on breast as well but I slowly weaned her off (when she was about 3 months) but with taking both (formula & breast) her poop use to be normally good but recently I feel like she isn’t pooping as m...

Long post, so my apologies! We welcomed our baby girl 3 weeks early on March 23rd. She’s been the HAPPIEST little baby and very little fuss (unless she’s a nakey girl). Every week since we’ve had some sort of poop issue - week 1 she wouldn’t go for 48+ hours, week 2 watery stool, etc. and we’ve gone to the pediatric...

Hi😊 what’s your opinion on Epidural?

How many months should I put baby girl on size 2 tests? X

My daughter wants to play with me as soon as I open my eyes, when I need my coffee and just over all time to gather myself. But I feel bad that I tell her I don’t want to play, I don’t try to beat around the bush, I tell her “mama doesn’t want to play right now okay?” I think that’ll help her learn that not everyone...

I didn’t grow up in the UK so a lot of things are going over my head… just wondering what is baby porridge? Is it just oats? Google seems to think it’s just oats… is it just oats?
