Is baby breastfed?

How many weeks?

I have a Breastfed baby (born August) who regularly goes 7-10 days without popping. She started this between week 1-2. She has been checked out but multiple providers who don’t even seem phased. One doctor told me his longest patient was 18 days between poops, and to call him when it’s past then. The longest I’ve seen is 12 days without popping my girl.

As long as baby is gaining weight and wetting adequate diapers, pooping is personal.

Yes this is normal, especially if you are breastfeeding. My baby would go several days 3-5 without pooping. Be sure that your baby is peeing though! To ensure enough hydration.

Health Visitor Home Visit

Hii, could anyone explain what the health visitor does on their home visit?

Also if anyone had a home birth, what the midwife home risk assessment involves?

I’ve got 3 home visits coming up in the next two weeks (health visitor, midwives and doula) and it’s making me nervous for some reason. I think having 3 just feels like a lot and a bit invasive if that makes sense!

Did you know this was a thing?

Didn’t know this existed! I’m actually not breastfeeding 2nd time round (though wish I did) after a bad experience with my 1st baby. But this is something I 100% needed 1st time round.

Screeching baby

I have twin boys, 5months.

One is very quiet

The other... is like a pterodactyl who screeches when bored, tired, hungry, as soon as he wake up to be held etc...
This habit has only just started!

Has anyone else experienced this and how long did it last?
So far it has been about 5 days 😭😭😭😭

Fighting naps

Does anybody else feel like they spend all day trying to get baby to nap? I get tempted to give up as he must not be that tired but he is too cranky to play or do anything else!

How are we entertaining our babies

What toys does everyone have for their 7 month old?
Nothing is satisfying my little girl she's got blocks, rattles, playmats loads more. She would much rather hold my hands and walk all day but I cant physically do that and whenever I put her down to play she just wont, is this just a faze?
