Probiotic for Newborn
Preemie momma here with a newborn that is have horrible constipation issues. When he is able to pass they are rock hard and it is hurting. Ive tried 3 different probiotics and they have all made the constipation worse. He has oat cereal thickened formula so the oats are what is causing it. I need recommendations badly!

I know you said its oat cereal, but have you tried giving him oatmeal with rolled oats? Mine is 10 months developmentally, and he has been pretty constipated his whole life until I started giving him oats, I swear! Whereas he was pooping every 3 days, he's pooping about 3 times a day now... he's also had other fiber filled foods within that time like lentils, broccoli and peas which I think has helped!
Is the oat cereal being used as a prescribed thickener for his milk? I only ask because at one week old, especially being premature, I’d definitely be getting the neonatal/paediatric team involved rather than trying different probiotics. If he’s genuinely passing hard, painful stools, I’d want them to check what’s going on ❤️

Transitioning carrycot to seat (pram)
Hello, I am a first time mum and was wondering when mums moved their babies out of the carrycot to the seat? My baby girl loves to look out and be nosey.

Feeling down and defeated
I’m feeling some what down and think I’ve got postnatal depression. My 5 month old is just refusing to do anything but cry on me, not sleep or eat (he does have a clean nappy), and my partner pretty much treats me like I’m his maid and not his partner. I don’t feel at all happy with my life and I just feel stuck. I know I’m not being the best mother I can be but this has become my daily life now. I don’t know what to do. I really don’t want judgment but I’ve never felt so alone. I feel like the worst parent going.

Arm jerking, stiffening and discomfort
My 10 month old is constantly flailing her arms. She also thrusts her arms out in a jerking movement and stiffens her body. She has started to shout with it like shes in discomfort. My GP and the hospital just say its excitement or frustration. We are concerned there are most neurological issues that are not being taken seriously. Its hard to capture it on video as as soon as I get my phone out she stops! I have a few videos that show it well though.
She has had an EEG which was normal. This has been going for months now though....
Any one else's little one do this??

Mamia nappies - Cord cut out section?!
Just read the packaging on these nappies after using them for a few days and realised they're supposed to have a cord cut out section but they don't?
Am i missing something or are the three packs i've gone through all fibbing? My little one's cord is off now but is taking a while to heal so i've been stuck folding these down so they don't go over his button whilst it dries and heal properly, a cut out section would've been ideal
