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?

We were told we wouldn't have another developmental review with the HV until 2 years, but I've seen a few posts on here and other apps saying they've had their 18m review, and even one saying 15m review! Does it vary depending on where you are?

I have recently moved to formula feeding with my 4 month old who was previously EBF! She has gone from pooping every day to once every 4 days and it smells quite bad, is this normal?

Hi, I'm looking for a little advice if anyone else has experienced their little one being in discomfort after switching to aptamil pepti 1? We have only been on it less than a week, but the first day he was on it. His dry skin cleared and sore bum so it makes me think he does have a milk protein allergy for sure as ...

Our little boy’s umbilical cord fell off about a week ago. Midwives said it was a ‘chunky one’ so took a bit longer to come off. This is what it looks like. Does this look right/normal? Thanks

I saw her in the first week of my baby being born and that’s it? Should she be contacting me or something to weigh baby?

Wouldn’t take any lunch yesterday and again about 4 mouthfuls of their dinner. Therefore trying to top up with formula, even though I k...
