The Expert View
Are you worried about breastfeeding when you're out and about? You don't need to be, but if you feel self-conscious, wide scarves or shawls are a good way of providing instant cover if you want it. |

Need to know
If baby passes unformed watery poo more than 3 times in a day, it may be diarrhoea. Unlike with an adult, you shouldn't give baby any medicine. Instead, make sure they drink enough water and cancel any playdates - your baby should stay at home until at least 48 hours after their last episode. If you are concerned at all or think your baby is losing weight, seek the advice of a healthcare professional. |

Tip: Ice, ice baby
Breast milk can be kept frozen for up to 6 months – as long as the freezer is -18° or lower. Freeze as soon as possible after expressing and remember to write the date on each container. Thawed breast milk will then keep in the fridge for up to 24 hours – just don't refreeze it again after! |

Tip: Giggles!
Baby chuckling isn't just cute, it's a developmental milestone! If your little one needs help finding the funny side, try blowing a big raspberry in the middle of their tummy. |
