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?

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

He will grunt excessively and let out fart or poo. Has anyone el...

Not sure what else to try. Tried giving her more water, puréed pears, puréed prunes, warm bath and lots of baby massages, bicycle legs and moving hips in a circular motion. It’s released some farts but no poops. 😫

If you were told to give up your right to have firearms- the whole country- no more guns whatsoever- and there will be no more school shootings. Would you do it.

Has anyone noticed Aptamil milk gives their babies gas My LO is having 150ml but since I’ve been giving her more she has bad gas and the poops are insane? Isit time to move on…..

Is it normal for my baby to be having a tough 3 month growth spurt she seems bloated and very fussy and uncomfortable. The only way to calm her is to rock her and feedings.

I haven’t bathed my 3 month old in a week. Have you ever done that? Is it bad?

I have both boys. I’m struggling with what to get the younger one for Xmas, we obviously have toys from my older one so he has everything and more. Developmental and fun toys so I feel bad as it seems as though he will get next to nothing. Any ideas?

my 1 month old hasn’t pooped in 3 days, he seems a little unsettled, he’s farting loads but just not pooping. could he be constipated, hes combination feeding but mostly breastfed, the other night he did mostly formula and im thinking that might be why?

My little girl gets her first set of jags tomorrow. My HV told me to get calpol which I have got. do I give her the calpol before the injections or after? How often do I give it to her? Any advice welcome, I’m so nervous about it

Hi lovelies! I gave birth just over 3 weeks ago and had a 3rd degree tear. I was advised not to have a bath around 2 weeks ago, but surely I can have one now? All is healing well and I have no soreness or pain anymore! I just need a bath in my life🥺

One month old and he just won’t burp today 🙈 clearly getting quite uncomfortable with it and crying a lot more than usual. Has anyone got any great tips? Is infacol worth getting?
