Should I be worried?

My 3 month old is a regular pooper, hasn’t missed a day. This morning I let him try a watermelon ( just swiped it on his lip) no sign of any allergy since then and no change to his feeding habits. BUT HE HASNT POOPED ALL DAY TODAY. He was extra chatty and happy, nothing totally out of the norm. WHY HASNT HE POOPED? Could it be the watermelon? Did I mess up?

3 month old babies don't poop every single day. My daughter sure doesn't haha! A swipe of watermelon over his lips shouldn't cause him not to poop 💩 you didn't mess up ❤️

So my girl went an entire week without pooping! She is breastfed. Dr said it can be normal, she is probably just taking up all of the nutrients from the milk. She is back to pooping like normal, which has gone down drastically. Her normal before was like 4-5 times a day, but now is 1-2x per day. Call your dr if you need to, but it’s perfectly normal! Of course if he starts to show signs of discomfort I’d def call your doc. (Ps, I don’t think swiping the watermelon on his lip caused this, just my opinion, not a dr :) )

It's ok, it's not the watermelon. Mine generally poops every day but sometimes misses a day and then has a double dose of poop the next day, beware 😂😂😂

Even if their norm is every day missing 1 day isn’t to worry at all. Just like us. Even if we are regular everyday and don’t go one day we wouldn’t really think much of it.

Don’t think a swipe on the lips will make him constipated. It’s quite normal for them to not poo everyday.

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵
