Aptamil Comfort - green poo

My baby has been on aptamil comfort for over 6 weeks now, her poo has been green since. She seems mostly fine apart from green poo. Anyone else experienced this? I don’t know weather to change milk to normal aptamil to see if changes poo colour.

I have researched this because my LB is on Hipp Comfort and has green dirty nappies. Apparently green poo is normal for comfort milks because of the hydrolysed proteins 🤷‍♀️

Our little girl is on cow and gate comfort and also the same, I researched and it’s completely normal. I also looked to see if we should take her off the comfort milk at any point and it’s fine to keep them on it. She’s definitely happy on it x

Ah thank you both. and I did research too and seems to say it’s normal. When are you going to wean them off the comfort milk? X

we are trialling comfort milk to see if it helps with his reflux and grassiness (I think it’s mild CMPA but docs suggested this trial first because it has hydrolysed proteins) so it just depends on whether it helps or not!

I’ve had her on it for over 6 weeks seems to have really helped. So going to continue for now I think x

Hello, did you ever find out any more information about this? I’m experiencing the same! My HV said I should contact the GP asap

I’ve been told the same thing, although online it contradicts and says it’s normal. What did you end up finding Rose?

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. 🩵

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?

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 🙂

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.

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

I feel like just a milk cow

Hi I have a 16 day old via c section, I'm a FTM never having been around babies before as I am the youngest of my household and from a small family. My husband is fantastic with our little one. But ever since I've had the baby I just feel like the only thing I'm good for is producing milk. I feel disconnected from my husband like the only reason he's around is because am producing milk. We were having some issues before the baby and we're struggling it took a while to feel like he was onboard even though he said he was from the moment we found out. I dunno if I'm feeling like a spear part because I'm lacking confidence with baby or because I feel like he wouldn't mind being a single dad. Is this postpartum hormones or something else?
