Anyone try Evivo probiotic for their baby’s digestive issues?
Have a very refluxy, colicky, fussy baby.

We used it and I think it helped! Our baby wasn’t super fussy but she was spitting up a lot and had trouble with painful gas, very frequent poops (like ten times a day or more), and a persistent diaper rash (and it’s not like we weren’t changing her diapers when they needed it).

It’s a little hard to tell what was the probiotic and what is due to other factors (like her digestive system maturing or whatever) but now she spits up much less frequently, farts efficiently, is pooping at a much more reasonable frequency (like a few times a day instead of constant wet sharts haha), and her diaper rash healed.

I’m pretty sure the healed diaper rash is at least partly due to Evivo because when we were about halfway done with the box I had to do a course of antibiotics and her diaper rash started coming back. It healed again after I finished the antibiotics and we continued Evivo.

I will say our baby hated taking it in bottles and we found giving it as a paste much more convenient.

I think we started it when she was about 2 months old. I liked that it wasn’t something that we’d have to give indefinitely — our lactation consultant said when she suggested it that if we gave the baby a box of Evivo, the bacteria should establish itself in her guts and we shouldn’t need to keep dosing her after that.

I’m sufficiently convinced that it helped that if/when we have another baby, I’d plan to start Evivo within the first month or so to hopefully save some digestive upset!

It sounds like allergies. All of my babies had this and I had to keep a food journal or go get yourself tested for food allergies, and sensitivities. I was able to steer clear of all the allergen foods, and my babies completely stopped being gassy and fussy and they never sped up after eating anymore. If you’re doing formula with your baby, I would recommend doing a goat milk formula and making sure that no seed oils or additives Are in it. Lots of formulas in the US have a ton of junk in them. 👍

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too
