Why is my babies poop grey?

I had been giving her breast milk for the passed 3 months and now she’s 4 months old my milk died up but I still try to give her some breast milk time to time now she’s on infamil neuropro gentle ease formula I’ve been incorporating it with breast milk since she was 2 months but it was within the passed month where I had stopped giving her breast milk
Where her poop turned really dark it would be super DARK GREEN or GREY color my daughter already has colic but when those poops came out she would cry historically like I could see her in really bad pain it hurt my heart.. can anyone tell me what this could be? When I looked it up it said liver problems that really scared me!! Plz help!

Definitely call the doctor. Black/grey poop is only normal in the first week or so with a newborn.

Like white poop, baby stools that are gray in color can mean your baby isn’t digesting food as they should. Call your pediatrician if your baby has poop that’s gray or a chalky consistency.

that looks normal to me… my son gets like that cause of the stuff he eats. sometimes when he eats too much Banana or some other foods.. I think it’s normal… you can call your doctor if you want but I honestly find that normal

She doesn’t eat food yet 😕

Follow the color wheel and call doctor in morning

Please bring her to the doctors - it could be nothing serious but it could be something wrong with her liver/gallbladder which would need diagnosed and treated asap X

My baby drank that same formula and her poop looked exactly like that I asked the doctor and she said it was normal formula fed babies poop looks different compared to breast milk fed babies

I ended up switching to a different formula for WIC Gerber good start and her poop still looks like that I also breastfed my baby at first still ask your doctor better to be sure 👍🏽

Peace of mind please

I shot up at 4am last night and had the urge to check my little boy who sleeps in a cot next to our bed.
For the first time he has rolled over and was sleeping on his stomach, my heart dropped.
I was so scared that I picked him up to make sure he was okay and he was just sound asleep…

What are we supposed to do if they roll over in their sleep?! He’s almost 6 months old and I’m prettified of him rolling and it being a different outcome if I don’t wake up..

Just need some peace of mind that this is
okay?

Baby slept all night

Sorry, I just need to post this... my little boy is 12w5d and he slept through from 9:30-6am, woke for a feed and went back to sleep until 8:30!!! I can't believe it. I was obviously up every few hours checking on him and making sure he was ok, so I didn't get a full nights sleep 🤣 but I'm so pleased for him! 🎉🥳 (not a brag btw, I'm just so pleased and wanted to share)

Car seat

This car seat says 0-14 months. We bought it when my baby was around 5/6 months when he grew out of the old one and the lady who sold it to us in smyths toy shop said it can be used up until 4 I believe but why does the sticker on it say 0-14 months then? Does anyone e else have this seat the joie 360 spin?

🥲

Do any mums who breastfeed and co-sleep — especially once baby doesn’t really need night feeds — ever let their baby cry for a bit in the pram to fall asleep, just so you can have a few minutes to yourself?
A friend suggested this to me, but honestly it breaks my heart. I tried it once and it did work, but I’m not sure I could do it all the time. She’s a childcare teacher and said with sleep training you sometimes let them cry for up to 30 minutes… but I don’t know how people do it.
She also mentioned that a lot of mums here on the Gold Coast, Australia do it during the day when their baby’s tired — letting them fall asleep in the pram so they can have a coffee or catch up with friends without having to rush home for a nap.
I just feel like it might not be good for their nervous system and it doesn’t sit right with me… but then again, I’m also a first-time mum.

moving to cows milk

hi! my boy is one next week and changing to cows milk is really confusing me. he is fed to sleep sith formula three times a day, before his two naps and bedtime. how do i change to cows milk, especially if ideally the cows milk shouldn’t go in a bottle? i just so lost and quite dusted by the whole process. i have a munchkin miracle 360 cup and he can drink through a straw or open cup but before bed seems very disruptive to the routine

Would you consider a baby not talking at the age of 1 a developmental delay?

Based off a recent post, someone said that a child that doesn’t speak at the age of 1 is developmentally delayed.

Do you agree?
