Blood Streaks in Baby's Poo

My son is 6 weeks old, he has been vomiting sometimes right after feed and sometimes while feeding. After feeding he is unsettled, grunts and make painful faces. So I thought it would be milk energy , so i tired to remove milk from my diet. But i also he had blood streaks in his poo which I am concerned about.

Anyone had something similar?

It’s probably an allergy but I would call your pediatrician, they may want to see him

You get this sometimes with baby diarrhoea, call the gp in the morning x

Yes we have had similar recently, with mucas and sometimes greenish poos. Also put it down to an allergy such as milk. We went to the doctors and did a couple stool samples which we are waiting results for. I think if the blood continues to happen then speak to the doctor if you haven’t already done so. I’ve heard though this can be a very lengthy process to determine what the actual issue is

It can be milk allergy. If you cut dairy from your diet, it will show results after one month when all the milk proteins will be out of your system.
But better to check with your GP and/or health visitor. The blood in the poo should definitely be checked by a professional.

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!

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7

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 🙂

Pumping advise

FTM to a 2 week old! I’m breastfeeding and then giving one formula bottle last in the evening before bed. I want to start expressing milk to give me some breathing room and also allow my partner to be more involved in feeding. I’m finding the idea of introducing pumping into my day quite overwhelming though. I don’t want to take milk away from my baby by pumping if he needs it during the day when being breastfeed.

Can anyone advise how I start pumping and when to do it? Thank you!

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.
