Blood in poo

Has anyone else experienced blood in the baby poo? My daughter is almost 4 months old and the past 4 poos have had little bits of blood in them. She seems absolutely fine otherwise. Pic attached (sorry!)

My LG had mucusy/blood in her poo when she was about 3 months old, rang 111 and they advised me to take her to the Dr which I did and turned out to be nothing they said it could have been a pop blood vessel or something but nothing to worry about cleared up quite quickly... if you are concerned ring the Dr xx

@Charlie thank you! There isn't much there at all and she seems okay so hopefully it is just that. I'll keep an eye on her obvs and ring the docs on Monday if it's still happening xx

I know it's a panic when you see it but try not to worry, baby girls can also have a 'period' when there little x

How old? Have they been unwell at all? Are you BFing or formula (looks like a booby milk pooh but thoughts if ask 😅)
There are a few reasons that your babied digestion tracts can get irritated and cause there to be a little bit of blood in their pooh, but there's usually nothing to worry about just keep an eye on it!

@Bianca she'll be 4 months tomorrow! And yep, she's exclusively bf. She's got a cold at the moment so she's a bit snotty. She's woken up in a right mood today but her poo seems okay xx

oh yeah most probably that cold then, they're digestive tracts can get irritated really easily so just keep an eye on it. Lots of mama milk and cuddles will have her fit in no time! 😊

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

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.

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

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. 🩵
