Poop question

Hey mommas I’m a ftm and my babygirl hasn’t pooped in two days she’s formula feed and is 12 weeks old. I can tell she’s uncomfortable and I feel so bad. I’ve been doing belly rubs and bicycle kicks and all the things like that. Also gave her some gas drops and gripe water to relieve the gas but still no poop. Does anyone have any tips or tricks for me. Pic so we don’t get lost💕

Vitamin D3 drops you put one in the bottle or on your finger or your nipple and it should help my baby had a hard time with pooping when she came home from the hospital and I put some of those in her bottle and they work

It happened to my baby. His doctor told me to give him 2 ounces of unflavored Pedialyte, which worked like a charm. Hoping she feels better soon!

My son has horrible constipation issues. We have to do 1/2 an ounce (3 Tbsp) of prune juice in his morning bottle every day. If he doesn't have it every day, he goes right back to being constipated. It's the iron in the formula, so I'm hoping it will ease up with the introduction of baby foods, since he's 5 months old now.

When my baby was constipated I used a cotton but and put sudocream on and rubbed around his bum hole etc with it,m. Wasn’t pleasant but definitely helped him pass.

On tik tok there are so helpful videos of different positions to try and just repeat some for like 15 minutes that helped my little dude poop when he was struggling

unfortunately the doctors won’t do anything as formula fed baby’s can go 5 days without pooping! our girl went a week so we took her again and they gave us laxatives which were a god send she now poos everyday on her own. we found the gripe water, bicycles kicks ect didn’t work which is super hard they also recommended us to give her small amounts of water each time she didn’t poo! sorry no help but just keep an eye on how long he doesn’t go for if it gets to 5 days go to the doctors and don’t let them fob you off!!

Suppositories and if you don’t want to it’s kind of normal she hasn’t gone yet. Prepare yourself for when she does go lol. Continue belly rubs counter clock wise, clockwise, rub down from belly button gentle pressure. And if she farting she should go soon.

Someone once said go to target don’t bring the diaper bag lmao she’ll go . Hahaha

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.

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 🙂

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

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

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.
