My 5.5mo is doing lots of runny poo around 6 a day , Yellow or greenish yellow in colour. I read online if baby has no fever and is active there shouldn’t be concern.

So far I’ve bought a mattress topper, the bbhugme pillow, and the babymoov sleep belt, but none of these things really work for ...

My littlest seems to cry in the afternoon 7-10pm and especially while eating. I’m confused since it seems like he’s straining like he’s trying to poop/pass gas but he also spits up at the same time. I can’t really tell what the problem is.
