This happened to me it looked mucousy and green like slime I was worried took my son to the doctor he said it looked normal and was probably something I was eating but he tested it anyways and it was completely normal it has since then returned to its normal state on its own

Yeah not to worry some occasional mucus is totally normal. If it’s persistent and a lot, it would be worth mentioning to her doctor.

Have u got a forceful letdown?
This happened to me and for a while I had to let baby nurse, take her off and let the letdown squirt into a Muslin or a little container and then put baby back on. It corrected itself in time when baby got a bit bigger have a read about it tho.

My little girl was diagnosed with allergies based on green, mucusy poops. Since i stopped those allergens she is absolutely fine and her poops are completely different

Thanks everyone. I did some research about it which helped ease my mind a little bit. However, she has a doctor appointment on Monday so I will mention it just so I feel better and know for sure things are okay.

Bottle refusal

EBF and deciding I want a bit more flexibility so wanted to introduce a bottle so I can go out more.

She used to take one three months ago. Now she flat out refuses and cries - doesn’t matter if it’s expressed breastmilk or formula. Tried it in a sippy cup as well. What can I do?

Formula suggestions

Hey! We are new to the United States and we are struggling to find a good formula, we are currently using bubs grass fed formula (pictured below) and we use Karicare (also pictured) back at home. We are looking for something similar that comes in a bigger can as the bubs one is only 20 OZ so we are having to buy 2 cans p/w

Those who use/used baby tracking apps - when did you stop using it

My girl is 18m and I don’t use to rely on it but more so out of habit I’ve realised
She has a set routine now really so I don’t need to use it but curious to know when others dropped
