Constipation

My baby is doing 2 meals a day and is EBF. She has not pooped in a week and is uncomfortable but her belly is still soft. We’ve done pears, prunes, water, 100% apple juice, and this morning did a glycerine suppository as suggested by pediatrician. After the suppository she had one small poop but that’s it. I can tell she’s still very uncomfortable but I’m not sure what else to do for her. Any suggestions? I’ll be calling pediatrician again in the morning if no luck

Have you tried sitting them on the toilet about 10 minutes after they eat? I put my 9 month old on the toilet about once to three times a day after they eat and just from that half her poops end up in the toilet.
But we as humans are designed to go poop and pee in a separate place. Your baby might get into a natural poop position and poop it out.

Call me crazy if you want but it might be worth a shot. 🤷‍♀️

Yes same happened to me apparently I was feeding her too much fiber from baby’s food and once I started feeding her plain white rice she goes everyday now she used to be constipated for a week at a time until she hit 9 months ans I’d been feeding he solids since 5 ans a half it took me 3 months too learn what to feed her

I saw this at the store but had no open with experience with it. Thank you!

I sent my husband for this today. How soon did you find that it worked for your little one?

it did not. She now has to take miralax daily or she just can’t go

20 months old who won’t sleep

Hello!

I am struggling with my 20 months old. She’s amazing but when it’s time to go to sleep she just won’t sleep. Napping is almost impossible and bedtime is eternal. It takes me at least an hour to put her to sleep. If I am not literally next to her, she will cry and won’t stop until I come back (she can cry for 30 mins no problem and never get tired). Also she won’t allow my husband to put her to sleep.

I know this is my fault because I didn’t sleep training her correctly when I was supposed to but I keep trying everything and nothing works. Does anyone have any advice on how to teach her to fall asleep?

Thank you for your time!

I have 3 brain cells and they are all fighting for 2nd place

Hi.
Stupid question as my brain isn’t braining.
My baby is now officially 6m old (happy half birthday!) and I’m wondering what the next step is for using a seat for her bath? She currently has the picture attached and she’s almost grown out of it.
She can’t sit unaided yet, is it the seat I get for her?

Huckleberry

So I just need to ask os Huckleberry worth paying for, I need help with my daughter, she has hit the four months stage and last night sent me to the edge, she took over an hour to get her to sleep, I had her asleep around six ISH on me went to transfer after half an hour, and she woke up, checked the app and she needed milk then she went back to sleep around eight ish on me, managed to transfer her to her cot till 10 ISH she had another bottle and went straight back to sleep afterwards but then started fussing around two ISH in the cot eyes closed but whining, I put the dummy in and she went back to sleep and she did this again, still with her eyes closed about half an hour after, then up for four am, had some milk and a nappy change back down near five till eight in the morning, I have been tracking it on huckleberry and wondered if it was worth paying for the premium to get more advice on how to get her to sleep through like she used to, I am going to do a bathing routine three times a week as they not to bathe a baby too much and then I am trying to have wind down times between half six and seven, I am knackered and trying anything but does anyone else's child fuss during the night? Mine does I said before but she doesn't open her eyes or anything so I pop the dummy in to sooth her and try and let her fall back to sleep herself, I watch to see if her eyes open at all. Am I doing this right because I am confused and tired.

Ending breast feeding

We made its 10 weeks exclusively breast feeding just to find out my baby has cmpa and possibly a soy sensitivity and the dietary restrictions are too much. I also don’t mind formula feeding she’s been doing well with it. We started all this in last 3 days. Any advice?
