5 month old poop

Hey ladies,

Anybody that is breastfeeding noticed that their baby has gone days without pooping. My baby is 5 months old and one week and it’s been 3 days since he last stooled. He’s voiding just fine btw. I know this can be normal but just wanted to see if anybody of yours babies has experienced this. First time this has ever happened. He usually poops once or twice a day.

YES around 5 months mark my baby has started going every other day than every 2-3 days … he’s almost 6 month and he just went almost a week . My pediatrician told me it’s normal as long as their tummy is not hard,they’re passing gas as normal and they are not uncomfortable. She suggested doing bicycle legs and stretches to help 💩

my babies pediatrician did warn me about this and told me not to panic! As someone mentioned already if their belly isn’t hard and they are passing gas then they should be fine. Their stool experiences a lot of change as their gut becomes more mature!

Yes! Mine started going every other day or every two days around 5 months. And when she goes, she GOES

Mine still poops every day but it used to be multiple times and here lately it’s once and it’s like badddd! Lol 😂 he goes through almost every time cause it’s like he gets it all out at once instead of several times a day like in the past.

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

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 🙂

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.

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

I feel like just a milk cow

Hi I have a 16 day old via c section, I'm a FTM never having been around babies before as I am the youngest of my household and from a small family. My husband is fantastic with our little one. But ever since I've had the baby I just feel like the only thing I'm good for is producing milk. I feel disconnected from my husband like the only reason he's around is because am producing milk. We were having some issues before the baby and we're struggling it took a while to feel like he was onboard even though he said he was from the moment we found out. I dunno if I'm feeling like a spear part because I'm lacking confidence with baby or because I feel like he wouldn't mind being a single dad. Is this postpartum hormones or something else?
