Is it okay to have a bath at 28 weeks? Tried calling Medicom but they said because it’s a non-urgent matter, midwife won’t call me tonight. My hips are hurting and I need some relief so want to have a bath.
My little boy (3 weeks old. EBF) is straining and sometimes crying when he poos or farts, is this normal? His stools are soft yellow as they should be; he just seems to struggle to push them out. It breaks my heart.

My baby girl is 4 weeks on Wednesday and she's had a wee bit of a rough time lately with catching a cold and having to go to hospital to have mucus suctioned out as she was struggling to breathe and she's had gunky eyes for 3 weeks. Eventually was given eye drops for her after 2 midwives and a doctor said they weren...
Every night between 6pm - 8/9pm ish my 3 week old is so unsettled. Throughout the day she drinks her milk, burps and sleeps perfectly. But in the evenings cries as though she’s in pain and it’s awful as nothing seems to console her 😔 could this be colic?

We had a good start with feeding and sleeping. My milk just started coming in too. Today he’s been very fussy and cluster feeding. It seems like he’s wanting to eat every 15-30 mins and will only eat for 5-10 mins and then falls asleep. If I put him down in bassinet or my husband takes him he immediately wakes up fu...
Hi, since yesterday my 5 week old has started gulping his milk to the point he’s squirming and then screaming out, I’ve always followed paced feeding with him, moved him to size 1 teat at 3 weeks old and he’s been fine, just yesterday and today he’s been awful! I sized his teat back down as I thought the flow was to...

We are away for Mother’s Day and there is a hot tub, is it safe for my 7 week year old baby to be in the room (not in the hot tub, just the room)
Hey, we took our son off formula alil over a month ago before his 1st birthday. Since we stopped formula he's had 1% & 2% milk but all he does is poop after he drinks the bottle. So we switched him to lactose & almond milk & now Nido powder for toddlers and he's still pooping non stop. Any ideas? He never pooped mu...
Mine did: 2 the day he was born 2 at 1 day old 4 at 2 days old 3 at 3 days old 2 at 4 days old Should he be pooping more by now? He didn't drop much from birth weight and he's feeding a lot, peeing, no jaundice. So it's just his poop today that baffles me, 2 isn't many, is it?
