BF poo 💩

Does anyone else’s breastfed baby’s poop have mucous in it? Is this normal? It’s not a lot but it is every diaper, I’ve read that it is normal and I’ve read that it can signal CMPA. I worry because he is super gassy/has colic as well.

I would honestly call the 24 hour nurse helpline for professional help. It's better to be safe than sorry.

My baby is 5 months and had the same thing until I stopped eating dairy. it was CMPA!

My son had this when he was a baby in addition to really bad eczema. I stopped eating dairy and caffeine and they both went away. Eventually I slowly started introducing dairy back into my diet and it was ok. He completely outgrew the allergy over time, so that’s definitely a possibility! He’s 3 now and has a cup of milk every day with no issue.

My daughter has CMPA. She’s 5 months old but I didn’t find out till she was 2 months old. Per her paediatrician a mild case but nonetheless her symptoms were soo much gas, always fussy, hard to settle, mucusy poops, she was honestly miserable. I cut dairy from my diet completely and she’s a totally different baby. Always happy, easy to settle, better poops (occasional mucus but not nearly as bad)

Everyone else already said the advice I would give. I just gotta say- I read it as "boyfriend poo" first and was caught so off guard 😭😆

Contact naps

I know contact naps at 2 weeks old are absolutely normal, but if your baby doesn’t contact nap and is perfectly happy falling asleep on their own… how do you do it?? My little one at the moment will only nap with me if swaddled, rocked and on me, which is exhausting and rather painful if I stand for too long… what’s your trick?!

Jealous

Is anyone else really jealous and just annoyed when other people are holding your baby?

Like when my baby is crying or fussy, please hand them back to me… also getting really annoyed when people are begging to watch my baby alone.. 🥴 like why do you want my baby so bad type of thing?…

If so, did you ever get better with your emotions and learned to trust people with your baby?.. I just can’t imagine letting someone else care for my child as my parents themselves never handed me off to anyone unless it was blood family..
