Has your baby eaten anything lately that was red or orange? Maybe an oral medicine that was red/cherry flavored?

Yes Tylenol to control the fever for covid

Could that be it?

I just noticed it was cherry flavored but no dye but the ibuprofen is pink

Tylenol can cause a clay colored stool (more of a copper color and thats what It looks like in the picture) when given to babies. I’m no expert and not sure what side effects it would give to a baby that had COVID, but thats what I had found online. I would definitely call their pediatrician and see if they could give you a more clearer answer.

Thank you Claudia that gives me a little peace of mind! He’s not hurting or anything, I will ask his pediatrician tomorrow! Thank you so so much for your reply

I’m glad I could help!

My sons stool looks like this when we have him the Tylenol without dye or sometimes when he eats stuff that’s colored orange or red.. I freaked out too when it first happened. I’d call pediatrician for more answers if it happens again or just concerns you in general. That’s just what it looks like to me.

My daughter had this exact thing, right around 13 mos old. Doctor said it was due to change in diet, and nothing to worry about.

Thank you ladies !!

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Baby with chronic congestion

Hi everyone! My 1 year has been a congested baby since birth almost. She breathes through her mouth so often that it wakes her up multiple times at night and she cries and screams and then struggles to go back to sleep. She wakes up every 1-3 hours and sometimes can’t go back to sleep for 2-3 hours!!! Piriton is the only thing that seems to help her sleep mostly through the night but I can’t keep giving her that!!
Does anyone have tips as to have I can do or give her? Has anyone experienced? I have no idea when I’ll get an ENT appointment and I have no idea what he can give a 13 mo :( we are desperate for sleep so any tips are welcome!! We have tried steam inhalation, saline drops, vapour rubs and everything off the counter basically!
