Biliary Atresia or liver issues

Hey mama's! FYI my daughter has her doctor appointment this Wednesday so I know I can wait until then to tell them what's happening and get professional guidance/medicine...however, my mama's mind is freaking out because my daughter has been healthy up until the last few months. She's been struggling with pooping. At first it was constipation and even though she's pooping daily, now it's gotten worse with how hard, chalky and discolored her poop is. I just want to know if any other mama's have experienced this and what happened?? I'm praying my baby doesn't have liver issues.

Thank you for any information!

Hi! Have you started whole milk with her? I brought up a similar issue to my doctor and they recommended provide miralax every couple of days or as needed to help relieve her. They also mentioned it was common after transitioning to whole milk.

a few days before her first birthday I switched her to Lactaid whole milk and I got her Mommy's Bliss probiotic drops. She's been pooping everyday since. My concern is her poop is yellowish white and hard and chalky. Some days she skips a day but no more than that. She was having really bad constipation because of her formula all of February and March, ever since she really started solids. I took her to see the doctor and they did prescribe Miralax and she took it but it took 4 days to work, on top of not pooping for a week. It was rough because I did everything alongside it, prune juice, peaches, water...and when she finally pooped it was traumatizing. She was constipated what seemed to be every week, of course until I switched her to whole milk and probiotic drops.

Hopefully you're right and her body is just trying to get used to the whole milk... I'm bringing a diaper of her poop to the doctor so they can run tests and hopefully it's nothing serious... I just want her to be healthy. 🥲

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Don’t want to leave my first born😭😭😭

Anyone else extremely sad and anxious to leave their first born😭

He’s 2 and we have never not put him to bed or be here for when he wakes up😭

I’m so sad and anxious about leaving him

Crying during feeding

Hey mams! My girl is 6 weeks on Monday and is having so much trouble with feeding. It doesn’t happen every feed but more often than not she will start a bottle and just start crying as if she’s in pain and she can’t take the milk. I think it’s trapped wind but I genuinely don’t know what to do it’s so pitiful to see her not be able to feed! She’s formula fed and on HiPP Organic.
Anyone else been in this position? I’m pretty sure it’s just a bit of trapped wind that she needs to fart out but can’t! If anyone has any advice I’d be very grateful as I think I may need to tape my eyelids open soon 😂

No more naps! 10 month old

For a few days now my 10m old has fought her 2 daily naps. Normally her wake windows were 3-4 hours and she is now eventually napping after a 6 hour wake window. Today was only one nap, she skipped the second one. Used to nap like clockwork so I’m wondering if anyone else is experiencing this? Also very unsettled most nights and doesn’t sleep well at all
