Baby Stool Question

Hi all, I am a new mom and this is the first time I am dealing with either a, “stomach bug” or something else with my 19 month old. I’ve taken her to see her pediatrician and they say it might be a stomach bug.
She won’t eat any solids, does not want water or pedialyte. She is still wetting her diapers but is going diarrhea 4-5x a day… she is on her similac sensitive formula and is only taking her bottle when she wants it.

She just started having these black worm like things come out of her poo and I have no idea what it could be. Internet says it’s banana fibers but she hasn’t even eaten banana? Anyone else have any insight on what I could be dealing with? Her doctor keeps saying it’s normal for a stomach bug.

I think it's rotavirus if it smells really bad. Normally pediatricians don't prescribe anything else than solid foods like rice, bagels etc(anything boiled not fried). But i treated my child who's 3 now with probiotics specifically biogaia. I'm from europe and i had a bad experience with probiotics from us because they are not effective. Biogaia is made in europe and works wonders, you can find it on amazon.

And i had a similar episode when my son didn't take solids only milk. And what i did was to boil rice in water until it became like liquid (gelatin liquid) and then mix it with milk and it worked the poop was solid in the first day. With probiotics that i mentioned above.

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.

Did I overreact?

I have had 3 c sections, recently had a wisdom teeth removal (4) to be exact and all my mom did was visit the day BEFORE and then she only sent 1 text. She has NEVER spent one full day with me and doesn’t acknowledge my achievements much. She just isn’t there when I need her to be. She claims she’s always working but she lives like 7 minutes away! she can come help with the kids so my husband can have break? we don’t ask her for much and she only sees the kids 1-2 a month. She also didn’t visit with my last c section. I told her that she should’ve gotten the abortion when she had the chance with me because why would you have me and neglect me emotionally? To not actually give me a present father in my life. I am very angry all she does is disappoint me. She only wants to show up for certain people in the family and I just want to grab her and shake her and ask her why can’t she be a good present mother?
