constipation?

My baby is 1 month old and is exclusively breastfeeding. She hasn’t had a bowel movement for 2 days now. Is this normal? She is eating & passing gas just fine.. What have you mommas done to help your baby?

That can be normal. Unless she is showing discomfort I would not worry about it too much. Something you could look into that helped my daughter a lot when she was gassy or constipated is doing bicycle kicks with her. You can find videos on TikTok or Facebook showing you how to do it.

Breastfed babies can go up to 10 days without a BM. Don’t need to do anything unless baby becomes uncomfortable ☺️

if you have a bouncer, that can help get things going.. i would just lay down a small towel if you can

I’m sure they can go upto a week before it’s anything to worry about! I’m sure she’ll go when she’s ready, you can do bicycle legs to help x

My baby had this happen around 2 months old where she just didn’t poop as much out of nowhere. It’s completely normal until she shows signs of discomfort. She went back to pooping once at day most days around 4 months

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?

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.

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?

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😢💗

Strange question

Hello. I would identify myself as asexual but yes i am married and i have a child. But now that ive had my baby. I think its solidified that im done having sex. I feel bad as my partner keeps asking me but i just dont want to. Any advice on what i can do? Any other asexual moms out there? I guess this could be confusing but im not huge on being bound by a label. I have just always felt it represented me best since highschool.
