My baby is nearly 8 weeks - so far only bathed with water are we able to start introducing small amount of baby bath stuff or leave it to water for as long as poss?

Hello ladies , just wondering about baths. I haven’t had one since being pregnant, obviously I have showers 😂 I just ache and would love a bath! What is like the max temperature it can be. I’ve always been a bit edge to have one and it can’t be to hot. I’m currently 35 weeks. Thanks in advance 😊

My daughter got a little sick in a shop yesterday. I couldn’t find anyone to tell about it and my daughter was distressed so I couldn’t leave her and she wouldn’t move. I told a construction worker who came by and he went and got a staff member who cleaned it up. I wanted to get out of there as soon as possible in c...

Anyone else baby always routing ? She can just be fed and is full but will still route for food. Open her mouth wide turning from side to side ? What could this be? She does not have a dummy! Never has. Any ideas ? She’s 8 days old.

I'm struggling to wind my almost 3 week old baby who seems to really be struggling with gas, especially in the evenings. I try upright burping techniques and tummy massage but it seems to accumulate. Today I only fed her breast milk and no formula and she was still bad though I am on antibiotics for mastitis so mayb...

She’s 3 weeks old, formula fed. Does it look normal? I’m just worried it seems very mucousy.

My daughter has her 8 week jabs coming up after our 8 week review, she is the quietest baby ever only cries when she is hungry as she is getting her nappy changed (we try not to wait till she is proper hungry to the point she cries) I know she will have a little cry after getting her jabs done but is there anything ...

what’s the difference between these two and how do you know which one yur baby has

My baby is 8 weeks and 2 days old today. We had our check-up followed by his vaccination scheduled for Tuesday. Unfortunately, we got delayed because he started crying just before we were about to leave, and I lost track of time( I am still struggling to cope up with his crying). Although we arrived before the vacci...

We have stopped formula and on blue cows milk. Since doing so he’s been constipated. He’s had a few hard little poops over last couple days and today they have been a really pale/yellow colour. I’ve contacted Doctors and have an appointment for next week. But reading online I’m now worried. For reference he seems o...

Baby is 3 weeks old and formula fed. She has no signs of cmpa apart from mucus in poo.

My 9 month old boy used to LOVE bath time but the last two weeks has been a big change! He was unwell for a bit and it’s been since then he HATES bath time now. He will literally scream, not sit in his seat and cling on to me for dear life. I don’t want to force him in the bath and traumatise him so he’s been gettin...

My little girl has been super constipated for 2 days now. Today I've given her prunes, sweet potato and baked beans (not in the same meal) to try and get things moving along. She's been crawling for about a month now and as of today has started pulling herself up onto her feet. I'm not worried about there being a la...

My son has a tongue tie appointment tomorrow and hoping and praying they will do it for him and just wondering what he will be like afterwards. Thankyou x

I’m going to call the GP in the morning but I’m not too hopeful on answers, but my 9 weeker always seems to be in pain with gas & pooing, has done since birth but has never been constipated. He was sick sometimes so I put it down to reflux, but now he’s rarely sick, and only at night time or when I try get him back ...

I know a lot of babies/kids can hate the bath, but this is something really concerning, one day she loved taking baths and then suddenly they are what it seems to her like a death sentence! She screams and cry until she hyperventilates, she puts up a really bad fight and Koala hugs me and won’t want her feet to even...

Hi all, new here and hoping for advice! My 4 month old breastfed baby has had diarrhea for 4 weeks now (very runny poo, about 8 times a day, often green…) before he has a poo, he screams the house down because he is in so much pain. The crying stops once it’s passed. I have been to the doctors multiple times, they h...

What was everyone’s experience after the 8 week vaccinations? My LO has hers tomorrow morning but I have family coming down from Switzerland on Saturday who want to see her. How ill was everyone’s babies and would a visit on Saturday be realistic?

Baby boy is 3 weeks old now, he had plenty of dirty nappies in the first week and a half, then he slowed down to twice a day but he now hasn’t had a poo since Monday. He doesn’t seem uncomfortable or like he’s straining. He does get trapped wind and is still passing wind. Should I be concerned? I’ve been told that a...

Does anyone have any recommendations for places to get my son’s hair cut for the first time? He’s 1 years old
