Is this an allergy?

4/5 sometimes 6 a day? Is this a normal formula poo! (Little one used to go once a day sometimes every other day?)

That’s what my formula fed baby’s poos look like. She goes 2-3 times a day but her poos are 2-3 times the size of the one in the pic.

Looks normal to me! The only thing that you should look for if you’re concerned is blood in the stool and/or lots of mucus. This looks like it has neither!

So this happens immediately after half her bottle (every feed) and is also watery x

I see some mucous - if this is his only symptom though I wouldn’t be too concerned.

How old is bub? 6 times a day can normal for a younger bub and not so normal as they get older. Any other symptoms?

My bub has a cows milk allergy. He had poos like this until 8mo. He was mostly breastfeed, occasional formula bottle. He used to do little vomits when he had a bottle of formula (less so when he had breastmilk) and he got milk rashes on his cheeks. Once we introduced solids it became clear he had cows milk and egg allergies.

Little one is 14weeks! It started after jabs! She regurgitates and can be fussy at times taking bottle!

I took her to ane as she had what looked like hives over her belly! They said her poos were loose!

Doctor said 4/5 times a day is normal
Health visitor said it’s not!?

They happen during feeds which are explosive sometimes straight after and then throughout the day

I’d definitely consider whether he could have a cows milk protein intolerance then. My son wasn’t diagnosed until we started solids so I’m not sure of the advice/steps for a 14w old on formula. I would see if the doctor can advise what to do if you want to rule that out, try another doctor or ask for referral to an allergist.

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. 🥺

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?

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!

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?
