I would call/message my pediatrician just in case!

definitely this! i work in a doctors office, there is always a triage line for this reason! if they don’t answer they will give you a call back! don’t ever be afraid to use that, most doctors offices too have an on call doctor too.

My worst nightmare is my daughter swallowing something. There have been a few scares. I'll keep your little one in my thoughts. I'd give her some Miralax to help soften her stools and some more juice/probiotics just to help her poop easier.

No, plastic can not be seen on a X-ray and if it can’t cut the skin it’s fine to allow your little one to pass the nail magnetics and batteries are the hospital main concern when swallowed

Hello thanks for comments this is what I received back

I just now seeing it so now I’m debating and worrying extra to take him in right now but he just fell asleep he been eating normal and pooped today but didn’t see any findings . Just don’t want to waste hours at we for x ray but need to still be safe because I am extra worried too

It's good he pooped! I'd call the on call nurses and tell them the response you got said to go to the ER, but based on him pooping if you still need to go in

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😢💗

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 😂
