Baby constipated

Has anyone else's baby been constipated since starting solids? After how many days is it a problem? I have tried water, puréed prunes, and prune juice. Any other tips?

Apple juice ! Our doctor told us an ounce per month the baby is. It worked great

Er dr told us 2 oz of the sugariest apple juice will get their bowels moving. The artificial sugar makes them poop. Every other day for a couple days

And ! Home made apple juice with the peels gives your baby more fiber. And home made baby foods could be easier on their bellies and cause it to flow better.

Pears help too!

Kale and spinach or apples !!! Puréed !

Doctor said after a week they need to go be seen

Fresh orange juice in their water works

Thank you all for your help! If baby is constipated did you take a break from most solids?

I think pear really ended up helping me! I tried prunes but my baby wouldn't really eat it.

Dummies🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Has anyone got any tips on how to GET RID of dummies😂🤦🏼‍♀️ my little girl is obsessed and i have no idea where to start!!

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?

Breastfeeding

Does it ever feel better? The actual feeding part of it is going really well and baby boy is growing so well. I’m struggling with how my boobs feel day to day - it’s really getting me down most days. The let downs make me feel awful and sounds silly but, I am also really missing not wearing a bra! 9 weeks postpartum and still getting fairly engorged, even with comfort pumping.

Any advice or just shared stories would help. I’m so torn between carrying on because I enjoy the feeding side of it or switching to formula.

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😢💗

Big nursing bras!

I’m looking for recommendations for good nursing bras for bigger breasted ladies!

I’m currently in a 38H which seems to be the biggest size done at M&S (UK based mama here) and it’s snug and not as supportive as I’d like. When I look online, they mainly seem to be sized S, M, L, XL etc rather than bra sizes.

Any recommendations please?
