Frequently asked questions

  • DUE DATES: When is my baby due?
  • COLIC: My baby cries a lot and my mum says its colic. What is colic and what can I do about it?
  • MISCARRIAGES: My partner has just had a miscarriage. She was 8 weeks pregnant and we were both really looking forward to the baby. I’m trying to give her all the support I can but I find it hard to talk about it. It seems all the help that’s available is aimed at her and I can’t help feeling left out.

  • AMNIOCENTESIS: I have been advised to have an amniocentesis. But I don’t want to have one. What should I do?
  • SLEEP: How much sleep is normal for my baby?
  • NAPPY RASH: What is nappy rash and how can I prevent my baby getting it?
  • BREASTFEEDING: I chose to formula feed my first baby, but now I’m pregnant again, I’d like to give breastfeeding a go. Can you give me some advice?
