So my 6 week old hasn't pooped since Thursday except for very very little Sunday. Iv tried gas drops, grip water, rubbing her belly, laying her on her belly and bicycling her legs. What else can I do to help her???
Don't do it all the time or they will rely on it but I do it when she absolutely needs it. I use a thermometer and you stick it in there rectum just a little bit and slide it in and out for about 45 seconds and I do small circular motions too and she usually poops right after.
yeah I called the doctor today and never got a call back. How do u do the stimulating it seems to bother her most at night
I would ask your doc.. if my breastfed 3 month old doesn't poop daily he is miserable. I rectal stimulate when he goes without pooping for 24 hrs but my doc said to do so as needed. Also he suggested apple juice after 1 month of age. I still can't bring myself to give him juice this young though 😳
It's normal for breastfed babies to go that long. Does she act like she is in pain? My daughter was the same way when she was around 7 weeks old but it never got better. She was in tears when trying to go. We had to rectal stimulation every now and then and then her pediatrician put her on miralax everyday to help and it has been a lifesaver!! She is a much happier baby.
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?

My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤️
Hi
I am into my 15 week now
But since last two days am not having good feeling....I just feel something is wrong inside wid d kid...all my symptoms r too less
Morning sickness is gone....Metallic taste of my tounge is also less....and I feel pain in my abdoman twice or thrice which is very minor though
What should i do i am very confused
Already have gone through 5 scans because of changing gynec
Just feel that untill i hear the heartbeat or see my kid i wont b ok....got sleepless nights
Has anyone else thought of this nonsense with her being weird, not having consistent information etc. as seeming a whole lot like the beginning of Glee with the fake pregnancy?!
That's about the time my baby stopped going several times a day everytime. I was told it's because the laxative leaves our milk and so now their bodies are having to work to build up the core muscle to push it out. As long as it's not hard when it comes out then baby isn't constipated. The person above is right with not helping out much. The baby needs to learn to build their muscles because you can't be there to help them poop for forever. It's a distressing time but it's part of their development.
