Poop question…

Hey guys! Random question - but how much are your LOs pooping?! Mine is 15 weeks was going once or twice a day but over the last week or so he’s been going almost after every feed which feels like a lot! He is dribbling a lot though so I’m wondering if that’s also a reason? I might be over thinking which I do for ev...

Tongue tie

My lactation consultant told me to check the baby for tongue tie. Does anyone have experience with it? How's the procedure? My LO is bottle fed and gaining proper weight, so his pediatrician is not concerned. At the hospital, the pediatrician checked his tongue but they never mentioned a tie.

Advice please

My partner and I were in a glass lift with our baby, as it stopped our family were tapping on the other side of the glass. My 5 month old put her hand on the door just as it sprung open and it just nipped her fingers. She screamed for 15 minutes and then fell asleep. They don’t look swollen or bruised, they were sli...

Peeing on Onesies

Hey! My two month old keeps peeing on his side. Whether it's before or after his feeds. We make sure his private is facing down and he fits his diapers. Any reason why he's doing this?

Bathing with stitches

I know it’s recommended not to bath with stitches but has anyone else had a cool quick bath and it been ok? I have been using my peri bottle but I feel like I need a quick 10 min cool bath as I had D&V vomiting last night, so alongside the bleeding I just want to feel clean and the peri bottle isn’t cutting it 😂

Has weaning improved sleep and/or constipation?

My baby has just turned 6 months and is showing signs of readiness so am going to start weaning next week. However I’m just intrigued to know whether people have noticed any improvements in sleep? And also those with constipated babies, what has weaning done for their tummies?

Lactulose

I was prescribed Lactulose for constipation and was up half the night with awful wind. It did the job this morning, I suppose, but my question is does the gas aspect settle down? Cause if it's like this each time I might just deal with the constipation.

What week or month did your baby start pooing easier

I know some young newborns have trouble pooing but it thought it was meant to ease after a few weeks. when did your little ones find it easier and stop thrashing their legs around and straining all day/night? Thank you - a sleep deprived mum
