My 2 week old has had diarrhoea now for the past couple of days, liquid watery poo. We could tell he was in discomfort yesterday afternoon and now every time we change him, he gets himself so worked up crying which never happened before. Just wondering if the diarrhoea is normal?
When do we change car seats. My little one is now 6 months and we still have the same car seat from when he was born. Not sure if we should be going onto the next one now or later
