Infrequent poos

Anybody else’s baby not poo very often? She went through the normal poo stages for the first few days then didn’t poo for a week, apparently because she wasn’t getting enough in to come out. Started doing formula top ups and she pooed a few days later but she’s only pooing now once every couple of days at the most. ...

Reflux baby

Hi, I have a one month old baby, and she has reflux, GP wasn't too clear about it, we changed already her formula, tried Gaviscon, Carobel, 45 degree angle, paced feeding, holding her after feeding for a longer time, she's gagging most of the time, she's swallowing back the excess, arching her back, burping seems so...

Clingy baby!

My baby just turned one and I’ve been noticing some days she won’t let me put her down! She gets plenty of one on one play time, and I don’t want to resort to turning on the tv. Cooking and cleaning have just been a nightmare because of it ): is there a way to teach her to play more independently?

Stringy poo ?

Baby haircut

Who has taken their baby for a haircut.y daughter's hair is at a length where it's too short to stay in a hair tie/clip, but long enough to get in her eyes so I think she'd only need a trim around the front, like bangs almost. I don't really want to cut it, but I also don't know what to do with it right now 😅

So annoying 😩

Partner phoned doctors this afternoon (we’re in the UK) to tell them we’ve been trying for over a year, nothings happened so what tests can he have done. And all they offered was a phone consultation on 16th December! It’s ages away!! I just feel like I’m in limbo because I don’t know what’s going on 😩

Screaming after bath

My little girl has screamed hysterically like she’s in pain (like when she had her 8 week jabs) about 15 minutes after her bath for the last 2 nights. She’s not hungry and she’s not cold as it’s after she’s had clothes on and has warmed right up. Has anyone else experienced this and figured out what might be causing...

Blood tinged mucus

My 10 day old has been straining to have a poo tonight he’s not had one today or yesterday and there was a tiny bit of orange/bloody mucus (no poo) would you be concerned ? What could cause this? Other than this he is very settled and drinking his milk fine!

12 month review tomorrow!

Has anyone had there’s yet and what do I need to expect?😂 Absolutely dreading it as seen so many mums come out and felt bad about it. Not even going to listen to them personally as I’m happy with my daughter’s development so far but what’s everyone’s experience? x

Diagnosis

Just curious, how were all your babies diagnosed? I’m still on the fence about whether or not my son has it, I’ve just seen on google they can do a blood test. His diarrhoea has stopped, but his skin is still bad, and he’s been sick more on the new formula, when before he wasn’t really a sicky baby!

Vaccinations

It's a very controversial subject and before anyone comes for me I am not saying either side is right or wrong. I know a lot of people won't want to comment on this through fear of others views but if anyone doesn't mind discussing it I'd just like to know has anyone opted for not getting them or chose to delay get...

Devil’s Lettuce

Okay so I am an avid gardener, I am now 8weeks🤰🏽, and I have still been gardening to help with the nausea. However my baby’s father is really nervous abt me smoking with the baby, I’m not. But this is our first child and I’d like to get some opinions so we can come to an agreement.

CMPA?

Does anyone’s baby have CMPA? What are their poo’s like? And what other symptoms do they have - I think my baby could possibly have it but doesn’t have any obvious physical appearance symptoms, rashes, spots etc.
