How often are your babies pooping? Last week my baby didn’t poo for 4 days and then on Sunday finally did one but I was expecting there to be ALOT more. And now he hasn’t gone since Sunday.

Help! I had my fourth baby almost 4 weeks ago and he’s super gassy and has random bouts of crying. He’s breastfed and feeding is going really well.

Recently my 2 nearly 3 year old daughter has been fighting us at bath time. At first we thought it's because she didn't want to bath with her sister, so we do it separately. That worked for a while, now she screams and basically throws herself out of the tub into our arms. Maybe it was because water got in her eyes ...
