GRAPHIC - BLOOD/NAPPY CONTENTS

My baby is 11 weeks and has had diarrhoea for 4 days. We haven’t had one nappy which is just wee, we are having minimum 10 poo nappy’s each day. We went to the doctors yesterday and they said it would be a virus & should go in the next few days, but she’s just done a poo of blood/water🥺 it’s scared me and I’m currently waiting a call back from 111.

Has anyone else experienced this with their babies?! If so what was the reason? Did they give anything to stop the diarrhoea?

I’m going out of my mind, I’m currently just sat worrying so much. My poor baby girl 🥺

Yeah, what Natalie said. Sending you love. How is little one now? X

Hi both, long night waiting for calls back from 111, this morning I’ve had phone call back saying to take her to A&E so Natalie you were so right! Although last night I managed to finally settle her and she got some good sleep so I took it whilst I could! Going to A&E shortly and will keep you updated xx

Just got home from hospital after 8 hours in there! Still unsure exactly what the problem is☹️ They’ve tested and it’s not Gastroenteritis & they don’t think it’s CMPA! They’ve done blood tests and stool sample and sent us home and we will get a phone call about the results! If she’s not better by Monday I’m to take her back! She’s pretty well in herself so they’re not worried in that sense! Xx

What was the outcome here as reading your message is a copy of what my day has been today. I’m totally terrified and going out of my mind with worry

hi Lauren so sorry I’ve only
Just seen this!!! :( They thought cows milk protein allergy, but after a week trying prescribed milk and going back to Kendamil it wasn’t that, they believe it was a reaction to the Rotavirus jab! On her 2nd lot of jabs they didn’t give her rotavirus and she’s been fine ❤️ hope your little one is okay? Xx

That’s so interesting you’ve said that as we’ve had the same thing. It was only 4 days before that she had that jab. So far, after a rest from kendamil, she’s been back on it for 4 days and so far so good

Baby clothes

Just out of curiosity, why do parents love zipper onesies?

Don’t get me wrong, I tried zipper ones it’s easy to zip in and out when putting it on the first time and taking it out, but I find it difficult when changing diapers especially when baby is asleep.

I prefer those kimono style buttons where it’s easy to button or too down button with crotch snaps.

Is everyone thinking the same or different? Lol

At this point I’m not enjoying motherhood

My 22 month old is horrendous at the moment🫣 biting, hitting, pushing, pulling and shoving not only adults but children he also wants what other children have and will just snatch it away from them.

We repeat ‘nice hands’ ‘be gentle’ ‘let’s share’ etc

But how do I make him understand what he’s doing isn’t very nice? At the end of the day I feel like I’ve just been saying his name all day and nothing else.

What can I do?

Help

My LO every feed. Drs don’t seem to think it’s a problem the whole Muslim cloth gets soaked so much I’m using towels now. I’ve tried size O teats he gets really frustrated and still spills it out :(

Dummy

My baby has had a dummy since about 2 weeks old (now 5 months) and over the course of the last month we weaned her off it during the day only for naps and night (which was fine) and then 5 days took it completely away during the day.

The first day no dummy was fine, the second bit rougher. But now it feels impossible she just moans and cries all the time it takes ages for her to go down to sleep (she’s always been an amazing sleeper)

I thought it was meant to get better as time went on not worse. I’m at my wits end I dunno what to do.

Currently typing this as she screams uncontrollably in the car and I cry with her cos I can’t do anything.

Is this normal?

My 12m old is really funny with kids going near him, he’s always been this way, but anytime family’s kids sit next to him or head his way he moans or cries and moves away. He also really observes them and is never really relaxed, always looking over his shoulder. Has anyone experienced this? (He’s starting nursery properly tomorrow so hoping this helps) but is this normal?

Of these two, which seems more overall “demanding” to you, overall? Lighthearted poll, not putting anyone down 🫶🏼

As a mum who breastfed for 3 years, I think formula feeding seems 100x harder and more demanding. I give those mamas all the credit because I could not keep up with that faff haha. I truly don’t understand why people say breastfeeding is more effort, other than the fact that no one else can do it. But personally I’d take that over endless bottle prep & cleaning.
