Thanks for joining us on the forum – glad to have you here. You are welcome to post 24/7 but please note that whilst we have forum moderators we will only be moderating the forum during office hours. If though you need urgent crisis help, please contact Samaritans on 116 123.
Spurgeons and Dad.Info doesn’t investigate reports of abuse or neglect. But below, you can find advice on who to contact if you have concerns about a child or young person.
Reporting a concern
It can be difficult to know what to do if you think a child is at risk. It’s important to remember that if you’ve spotted things that don’t seem right, others will have too. Speaking up can make sure that child gets help as soon as possible.
The sooner you contact your local children’s social care duty team, the quicker they can act. They’re available 24 hours a day, and can make an anonymous report if that feels safer. If a child is in immediate danger, please call the police straight away by dialling 999.
Report child abuse or neglect to your local council

I'm still mothering mine and they are 29 and 30!
It's difficult to comment as we don't know how old your baby is...if she's still breast/bottle fed then mother will be there to attend to her every need. Babies cannot tell their parents what they need or what is wrong and the only way we know is if they cry. Babies must be fed lots and need changing, they are usually teething or they may have colic which gives them a tummy ache. It's a full time job being a new mum!
If its your first baby then mum may be over protective and it might feel like you are being left out. Try and talk to her about how it makes you feel. Perhaps she doesn't realise that you are feeling isolated.
