Explosive diarrhea and vomiting

My 3 month old girl has had watery explosive yellow diarrhea for 24 hours now and vomiting up a lot of her feeds. She is still normal and smiling and awake but worried about diarrhea since she’s so young. Has anyone experienced this and what did you do? It’s heatwave too so could be making it worse.

I would take her to the gp as combined with the heat she could get dehydrated. Offer lots of milk. You got this mumma x

I'd call 111 for advice as she's at risk of dehydration.

Is she breast fed or formula? Take to docs, but my girl is breast fed and had these symptoms for 10days, monitor n keep a diary of how much in how much out, is she having wet nappies still or just diarrhoea? I took my girl a n e 7 times! before they finally admitted us and she was severely dehydrated and kidneys dry! no wee for 24hours n wasn’t keeping anything in for longer than 3 hours, breast fed so they kept telling me she will be fine, if she was formula they would have admitted us day 4 xx

Ring 111 for advice. It could be due to the heat but it could also be a sign of a milk allergy.

Only thing you can do in the meantime is keep offering milk. Do less milk but more frequently to prevent getting dehydrated x

Hair help lol

My daughter is 6 and 1/2 months right now and every since I gave birth to her she’s had super super crazy hair that stands straight up, it started off as a little triangle and turned into a full blown palm tree. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love it, I think it makes her so beautiful and unique, but sometimes I have a very hard time styling it! We’re a busy family on both sides and we have lots of events and sometimes I wanna give her a cute little style but I cannot manage it with anything. Her grandma on her dad’s side suggests I use olive oil, my mom is suggesting coconut oil, and most people tell me to use water and the thing is most oils greases her up way too much and water makes her fluff so much worse! Does anyone have any baby safe suggestions I can attempt to use? Or perhaps a bath time and brush routine to try and settle her hair a bit.

No sleep

What is the best way of managing lo’s at night in the heat? Before bedtime we got our babies room as cool as we possibly could and ran a fan on the hallway most of the night. Doors open trying to let air flow through and he just slept in a nappy. Despite this his room stayed at 31/30 degrees till nearly midnight. He is a good sleeper usually however last night for the first time he was waking unsettled every hour😭 we just can’t get our house cool at all and it probably doesn’t help that we’ve only just moved and the only room with curtains is his room. Today is going to be even hotter which means another uncomfortable night and I’m already dreading what we could be in for with our very hot and bothered baby😫

Circumcision?

Is it better to get your son circumcised or just leave them be? Ftm boy mom

Would you rather…

Have a 1.2 year old sleep 12 hour stretches every night BUT they wake up halfway through for milk

Or

Have them sleep the first half but cry and have restless sleep the second half waking every hour til morning

Cause I’m told they don’t need nighttime feeds. But he sure wants it haha and possibly needs it? He just sleeps so good when I do give him milk. But it is both sides nursing and I’m supposed to be weaning 🫠

Sex postpartum

How often do you have sex 4 months postpartum and I honestly have zero sex drive. I used to enjoy sex but since having kids it’s just been so different. I’ve had sex 5 times since giving birth to my baby and even then I just don’t enjoy it like I used to. Has anyone experienced this?

Help EBF

Has anyone else had the same issue ?
My nearly 4 week old pretty much chokes/coughs and splutters when on the boob and because of that she’s taking in loads of air which makes her gassy and uncomfortable no matter how long I burp her for, I have a fast flow so I’ve tried pumping before but because I’m only 4 weeks I’m scared of causing myself a over supply as I already wake up super engorged and leaking EVERYWHERE , she’s also been throwing up a lot like after every feed then she wants to go on again and won’t settle because she’s thrown up
