Did anyone else experience diarrhea or just weird digestion habits around 2 weeks postpartum?

I had my baby a little over 2 weeks ago and for the past week I’ve had SO much gas especially when I wake up in the morning it’s just so much air to release, and then twice in the last week randomly after eating something I always eat totally normal I’ve had mild diarrhea?

Wet farts

My baby is 15 days old and is exclusively breast fed. I'm concerned that for the past week or so he's been having small amounts of poo when he farts several times a day. Is this normal or should I be concerned and take him to the GP? He's still doing proper poos and pees and seems fine in himself Thank you

Measles in LA

I have a baby shower to go to today for a very close friend and my baby sitter said she’s sick and can’t watch my baby. I’m hesitant on bringing my baby to the baby shower bc of the recent news that there is a confirmed case of the measles in La. When I think about it wouldn’t it be relatively the same if not more r...

Baby constipation

Any tips. My 10 day old has been switched from BFing to formula and she seems constipated now. We do the bicycle kicks foot rub and tummy rub (as carefully as we can because she still has her umbilical cord stub). Any other things ppl would recommend to try and help her poop?

Suspected CMPA

My little one is 11 weeks (EBF) and from around week 4 or 5 he started having very green poos. I asked at the practice and got told that it was normal and it might be my oversupply of milk as he was probably not getting the fatty one. He has always been so gassy and with some reflux. This week we saw a tiny speck of...

Ugh

There's never a weekend where our 3 boys can't stay out of the ER 🤦🏻‍♀️ My 10 year old hurt his toe while playing outside and ripped the toe nail off. An hour later we can't get the bleeding to stop and he's afraid of us touching his toe to replace the bandages

Advice on bath time?

Baby is 5 months (4 corrected) and was never a fan of her baths but has lately become absolutely hysterical and completely inconsolable for long periods of time if we attempt to bathe her.
