Diluted pear juice is much more gentle on a baby's stomach than prune juice. My DD would also only go every 2-3 days from 5 weeks old even though she was fully breastfed, and even now at nearl...

Hey there, I'm toilet training my nearly 3 yr old DD and have similar issues as you. She has often taken herself to the toilet in time to do no 2's but just as often just goes in her pant...

My 3 yr old DS was recently constipated for the first time ever, and it was due to him not drinking enough as it suddenly became hotter and warmer. We got Parachoc from the pharmacy, it is a stool ...

It's a well known fact that most birth plans do not go as planned, so you're doing the right thing by informing yourself on all your available options. With my first child I also hoped fo...

Some babies just cry more than others, it's nothing to do with how you behaved during pregnancy. My DS is 3 now and he cried a lot as a baby, and it went beyond the 3 month mark so don't ...

That happened to me with both DS and DD and DD still steals the show now when I go out with her (she's 19 months old). It's mostly old people though and I'm glad she can be cute enou...

My DD was like this from newborn until a few months ago (she's now 19 months and was breastfed). Some babies just don't need to go every day and unless it seems to bother them you don...

How old is she? Sounds like she's probably not really ready yet. Consistency is the key though, When I tt my DS we stayed home for about 3 days and I put him in undies. I let him choose the un...

I agree with what Kazzav has said. Does your DS get enough energetic play during the morning? Maybe also try and shorten his nap so that he is tired by bed time? My 3 year old DS also still has a n...

Congrats on your new arrival. As everyone else has said, do try and continue with breastfeeding if you can. It is hard in those first few weeks but you are doing what nature intended and are giving...

I assume you're talking about CHIA seeds? They do need to be soaked first before you eat them otherwise they can be a bit dehydrating, hence why you're having problems. It is common to be...

Breastfed babies can't go as long between feeds as formula fed babies, so yes it's normal for a 5 month old to feed every 2-3hrs and to not sleep through the night. Once babies are used t...

Don't forget your baby is a newborn still and NEEDS to be held most of the time in order to feel safe and secure. Of course it's hard when you feel like you're tied to your baby all ...

I would wait until she is able to sit by herself as she should be concentrating on the food and not on trying to stay upright. You can start at 6 or 7 months, there is no rush as every baby is diff...

Hi, my DS was 8.9kg at 4 months old, he was soooo chubby. He was also fully BF and just a greedy guts I think. He was 3.5kg at birth and on his first birthday was about 10.5kg. So don't worry...

Have you looked into acupuncture and chinese herbs? Your body may just need a gentle kick start to get going. There are acupuncturists that specialise in women's health so well worth checking ...

Don't worry too much, she will do it when she's ready. Just be patient and definitely don't force her or use bribes. Some kids just take a little longer so just keep encouraging her ...

Most young toddlers don't like the taste of cow's milk. My DS only started liking it when he turned 2. I wouldn't worry too much - if she is eating cheese and yoghurt then that'...

She will do it when she's ready. As the others have said, don't force her and definitely don't use bribes. When I was training DS it took about 4 months before he would happily do po...

I used a baby bjorn for both my babies when they were under 3 months old. I know this carrier is no good for people with a bad back unless you get the newer ones which have a back support. I also ...
