I am 3.5 weeks post partum and area around scar is still sensitive however how do I know if the scar is infected? The scar itself is more red than it has been previously but I don't have any other symptoms. Is this just the colour of its healing process?

I know this has been posted so many times but I can’t seem to find anything when I scroll!

My baby keeps slapping me and others in the face. I’ve tried to google if this is normal but it just tells me about toddler tantrums. She’s 11 months old, is anyone else’s baby doing this?

Hi everyone, I am mom currently in grad school and I am in a health informatics class. I have to conduct a survey (it will be anonymous) regarding health information searching behaviors. My focus is going to be on breastfeeding challenges. I am still in the process of making the survey questions, but I wanted to ask...

My little one is 11 weeks (EBF) and from around week 4 or 5 he started having very green poos. I asked at the practice and got told that it was normal and it might be my oversupply of milk as he was probably not getting the fatty one. He has always been so gassy and with some reflux. This week we saw a tiny speck of...

Hi guys! So my LG is nearly 5 months and we use a bouncer to keep her safe around the house while I do chores, cook, shower, etc. as it's lightweight to carry around and she can watch me. It's age and weight limit is 6 months so we won't be using it much longer. Can I please ask if there is a safe alternative to ...

Hey all! I have been looking at a travel cot for our holiday next month. Im looking on FB market place and none of them come with a mattress- just the hard base. After researching I can see the hard base is in fact the mattress 😐. That's horrible, it looks hard and uncomfortable. But thinking about travelling…

I had baby n2 in Jan via emergency c section and it was a near death experience, I absolutely hate my birth story and I cringe or cry everytime I think about it. I’ve kept really busy these past two months so I feel like the pain is only now catching up with me. Also, baby was in the nicu for two weeks. Anyone else ...

Does anyone have any recommendations for a bed rail for a 22 month old? Me and my daughter are going away to Newcastle next month to go and visit my best friend and rather than lug a travel cot all the way up there, I was thinking of getting a bed rail and using that in a single bed instead for her to sleep in.

Does anyone else use the owlet sock? My son is almost 12 weeks old. We bought an owlet sock before he was born but we haven’t used it yet. I keep seeing videos about people using them, I can’t tell if it would make my anxiety better or worse starting to use one now

Just to share some reassurance… While the official advice is to stop lying on the back after 28 weeks, some websites even tell you it’s better to avoid as early as beginning of second trimester! If you’re also confused and worried about sleeping positions, I found this which I thought was very reassuring so just wa...

Has anyone else’s baby not giggled yet or took a while to giggle when they were small? My little one is 18 weeks old and I literally feel like my life is currently being consumed by the fact my baby isn’t giggling… Now I know this sounds dramatic, but we have a few mum friends who had babies all around the same age...

Anyone else had the bottom of their mam bottles melt in the microwave? Followed all the instructions etc.

Currently going through purple crying. Late at night for hours just him crying no matter what I do. I’ve broke down because of it. Has anyone else gone through it?

I have a 2yo and a newborn. At the moment they have a change bag each. I wondered what others do? Is it worth getting a bigger change bag and putting their clothes/ nappies all together so it’s less to carry? Recommendations on change bags if so… ☺️TIA xx

My baby is exactly 6 months today and the past week has been sleeping in his own room for his day naps and instead of 20-30 minute naps he now naps for an hour + EVERY nap! So I’m considering putting him in his room tonight but I’m so anxious! We have a camera set up and I can always bring him back into our room a...

How do you get your baby down for a nap? Since we've hit the 12 week mark, my boy is very fussy around nap time, to the point he just won't sleep! I've tried bouncing him, quiet room, noisy room, darkened room etc It's like he knows he should be napping, but he decides against it 😂 What are your tips? X
