Yes. Emergency room
Your baby’s doctor has an emergency line usually and it’ll connect you to the doctor on call. Call them and see what they say
It will most likely be fine just keep an eye on her make sure shes acting normal
" yellow stuff" could be anything, its better to try find what she may have eaten if you arent 100% it wasnt poop incase its somthing toxic
A&e just as a precaution, better to be safe than sorry
This has actually happened to me before 😂😭 I wouldn’t panic, babies are honestly so gross sometimes! If it was only a small amount of her own poo, she’ll most likely be absolutely fine. I’d clean her face/hands and give her something to drink, then just keep an eye on her. If she starts being unwell, vomiting repeatedly, becomes unusually sleepy or you’re worried, I’d call 111 for advice rather than waiting until morning. 🤍
Your baby definitely doesn't need to go to the emergency room. Your baby has already been exposed to all the bacteria and germs in her own poop so it shouldn't cause any harm. If anything she may have a bit of an upset stomach. If anything more like constantly vomiting, a lot of diarrhoea and/or lethargy develops she'll need a doctor.
As Nikita said it's more important that you make sure that the yellow stuff was definitely her poop and not something else.

Switching to formula
I will have exclusively fed my 3 month old breastmilk in 2 weeks time and I think for my mental health I want to combo feed. Does anyone have any tips on this? I currently pump 7 times within 24 hours and would like to reduce that so I can live without having to pump every 3 hours. Any tips or advice would be appreciated. Xxx

Locking toddlers bedroom door
Do you think it’s ok to lock 3.5 year olds bedroom door? She keeps coming out and waking up the whole family so struggling to function. Or is it cruel to do that?

HOW are we waking our newborns?!
I'm trying to not go longer than 3 hours inbetween breastfeeds as my baby is not back to birthweight and my boobs are feeling quite engorged.
I'm having such a hard time waking my baby up for feeds and everything I'm reading online is about newborns feeding constantly, mine feels like the opposite?
I've tried changing, stripping down, cold water on belly, ticking feet, blowing, placing on a cold changing mat, talking, moving. It's taking me around 20 minutes to wake.
Surely this isn't normal. I'm worried I won't even make it to 8 feeds today.

2 year old naps
Is it bad to leave your 2 year old in her cot till she falls asleep? She's laughing and happy but doesnt fall asleep straight away.

My mom died, feels like my kids mom did
My mom died a month ago. She was a huge part of my life, and was there for me every time I needed her without question. She died unexpectedly from a stroke, and since then I feel like I'm in a life I don't recognize.
I see no light at the end of the tunnel. I see a life without the person who loved me most. And now my kids get this shell of a person as their mom. I feel no joy, i cry and I'm angry. The kind of mom no one really cries over. Nothing like my own.
If you've been through this please tell me it gets easier. That one day you wake up not wanting to just go back to sleep.
