LO not pooping!
My little guy will be 7 weeks tomorrow, and he is going on 3 days now without a bowel movement! Up until a week ago he was going 2-3 times a day...
I talked to the nurse at our pediatricians office, and she said that ebf babies can go up to 10 days without pooping! And as long as he is passing gas and his tummy is soft there is no concerns.
So now we wait. Tomorrow will be day #6!
Thanks for the input ladies! I've tried the q-tip trick, massage, and legs with no luck so far. I'm thinking that he is just not going to poop anytime soon...lol. That being said, I put him in a nice outfit today so if the blowout is coming, it'll be today!
q tip and some Vaseline, just put the cotton part into his bum and put a small amount of pressure downwards, not inwards. then wipe with a warm wipe and prepare for them to be cleared out! sometimes it's a delayed reaction but it almost never fails !! they use this trick at the nicu I'm at and it's always effective!!
It's normal. But I encourage my daughter to use the bathroom everyday by putting her up against my thighs in a sitting position (you laid back a little, knees bent up) and basically walking my fingers in an "n" shape over her belly button and back. Works every single time. Good luck !
Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?

My husband and I aren’t exactly strangers when it comes to relationship challenges 💞. We have been together for 14 years and married for eight, so we’ve definitely gone through some growing pains as we navigated a long-distance relationship in college and our first year living together as a married 👫 couple.
But nothing has challenged our relationship quite like our first year as 👪 parents .
Before you have your first child, you have these grand ideas of what it will be like. There’s more slee...

“You look too young to be a mom!”
Or how about …
“You have a BABY? No! You look like a baby yourself!”👶
Oh wait, here’s a good one …
“Are you the nanny, ooor … ?”
“No, yeah I’m his mom,” I’d reply. “Yes, I am young,” I’d agree.
Considering I got pregnant straight out of college, I was certainly on the younger end of the parenting spectrum. (No one was more surprised than me, I assure you.) And yet, I wasn’t exactly a teen mom. I wasn’t juggling school courses and motherhood, like so many s...
My doctor said he would induce my labor at 38 weeks, if my baby girl still had growth issues and if the percentile dropped to 10 or less. Last thursday, it was 10 percentile, and he said if she didn't come on her own by 38 weeks, he would induce labor at that time. I'm 36 weeks 1 day today, he said my cervix was super thin, and 1cm dilated. Is there a possibility this can change... that my doctor will let her just come on her own? I don't want to be induced, i would much rather her come on her ...
