Constipation/ Diarrhoea HELP!!

Hi, my combination fed 6 month old has been slightly constipated for a while but recently has started having diarrhoea which I read is paradoxical diarrhoea, (basically the body trying to expel waste around the hard stool) she’s in such pain as she can’t pass it which before she would be able to,
We’ve given her veg etc to try and help soften it, sips of water with food
She’s well in herself, no fever etc, feeding ok but I’m worried, has anyone had this happen before? Any advice?

Try Microlax enema. It helped so many times when baby was constipated. First time I used it when baby was two month old.

Pear and Apple puree is meant to be super helpful too. It’s something to do with the type of sugar in them. It helped my daughter when she was constipated.

Or Apple juice but I didn’t want to give her Apple juice. I was stressed about the sugar 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

If all else fails call the gp. We were given a suppository that we could administer at home and within 10 minutes she her bowls had a good clear out (poonami tsunami 😂) and was much more comfortable in herself.

Prune purees or apple puree. If nothing works go to the GP - I went to the GP for my LO being constipated for over a week and the GP gave her lactulose...after a day of giving it to her she pooped so much and looked so much happier. Natural methods are Ewood but when all else fails best to go t9 the GP

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.
