Jabs

Has anyone else been advised to push their little ones jabs on due to them being unwell? My daughter is 13 weeks and hasn't had any jabs yet due to her being unwell and moving doctors. As soon as I'm fully registered at new practice, i did it online and takes a week, I'll he booking her in but I just feel so guilty...

EBF normal poo or concerning? Help pls

My 3 month old is EBF and I’m getting conflicting information if his poo is normal or not. He only does green or greeny/yellow poos, and each poo he does has mucus in. I’ve attached photos. Not sure if it’s normal or if it means he is allergic to something I’m eating?

Blood in poo - WORRIED

My 6 and a half month old has had blood in her poo. She was a little constipated but the poo was not solid just alittle more firm than usual. When wiping her bottom and having a look there was blood or obvious tear. Any advice?

Hownold was your child when you felt comfortable showering while they were awake and alone

Obviously, this is a 1 child scenario, so if you have multiple, pick based on your youngest or when the oldest could take care of the youngest.

Does anyone else’s baby poo all the time?

My girl is 4 1/2 months she’s ebf, so I know it’s normal to go quite regularly or even only once a week. Which seems bizarre to me lol But she has been very regular the whole time, almost every nappy most days. I need to count how many times 😂

My little one has not had a bowel movement in 3 days, He is on expressed breast milk only, 4.5 months old . This is the first time he has not pooed usually poos 2-3 times a day, still has plenty of wet nappies and still feeding no other symptoms. Is this normal or should i be making an appointment to get him checked...

Too old?

Are our kids too old for showers with us? For some reason when I want to feel closer to my son i want to take a shower with him but we just sit in the water and just relax and he falls asleep. I know once he gets older it will be weird. But just curious when that will be?

Partner’s

Hi I know this is random but I’m just trying to settle something, do you think it’s a lot if your partner goes out 3 times a week while your home with the baby every single day? And he rarely (if ever) does bed and bath time or anything like that
