Diarrhoea

Hi ladies! So my LB is coming up to 9 months and every time he has solid food it literally comes straight back out the way it went in! Fully formed etc. He’ll eat and then instantly poop, it only happens with food and not breastmilk. Has anyone else experienced this? It’s making me so anxious. The doctor sent off a ...

1.5 week old things

Does your 1.5 wk old babies poo every day a fair amount? My LO has done maybe 3 big poos since born an these past few days just maybe a tablespoon worth of poo and that too done throughout the day, not just one time. Are they also sleeping most of the day still? I thought they'd be having atleast 1 hr awake during ...

Chewing fists (not hungry)

My boy turned 2 months on Tuesday and the last few days has been chewing his fists a lot. I am 99% certain he’s not hungry as he’ll do this at different times, inc straight after a feed! He did have his jabs on Tuesday so not sure if related?

Burping

Does anyone else’s little one refuse to burp during night feeding? I try for every which way and she’s like ‘nope’ 😅 She doesn’t seem uncomfortable but on the other hand I’m like there’s got to be something in there, especially because sometimes her tummy is a bit hard.

Frequent pooping

My son has been having frequent bowel movements ever since we returned from a trip to Brazil. I’m not sure if it’s just a coincidence or if he may have picked up a stomach bug while we were there. He averages about 3–4 bowel movements a day, which isn’t too alarming, but it’s definitely not his norm. He’s also teet...

Vaccines

To all wanting to know I did some research and there are traces of mercury in the Tdap and Flu vaccines. Which was supposed to be erased in 2001 along with multi dose vials. If you or your children are given any type of “multi dose vial” vaccines it could cause harm to you or your children as it is known to cause n...

When/how often do you bathe your kids?

Based on a poll I just saw. My kids take baths at night before bed but I noticed many moms saying how they couldn’t imagine sending their kids to school without a shower in the morning….for us there would be no way! I’d have to wake them up at 5:30am to make it possible…..

18 month old Diarrhoea

My 18 month old has had diarrhoea for 5 days now. Literally anything she eats comes straight out. Went to the doctor and he just said plenty of fluids but I’m really beginning to worry now as she’s even losing weight. I’d say roughly 5-6 times a day explosive diarrhoea. Does anyone know what it could be and if there...

Now I’m scared that I can get food poisoning and also hurt my baby from bacteria or something. What can happen ?! Ugh I don’t want to b...

Irregular pooing

My baby is 5.5 weeks and only pooing every 3 days for the last 2 weeks roughly. The GP didn't sound overly concerned as otherwise baby is happy and feeding. Has anyone had this before or the same? Formula fed if this makes a difference
