Ever since starting it, he’s been having runny VERY stinky poops that smell like sick.. he’s had 4 in the last 24 hours. The smell is insane. It just smells like an adult has vomited in his nappy 🤢…

Uncircumcised

Hi moms! My 5 month old is uncircumcised and the tip of his foreskin started looking a bit red. I am concerned as he also started grabbing it. He does not seem in pain but I also know that he is a very strong baby per other circumstances. Have you ever had this happen to your boy? Thanks!

Please help! We’ve tried everything. She now has lactulose from the doctor and it’s actually worse! She has pears/ plums / dates / prunes and a really good diet- apart from dairy- slight intolerance so we’ve cut it out for now. But she now has a fear of pooping and holds them in 😭 goes stiff like a board! Any tips…

Hi! I’m wondering if someone encountered similar symptoms with their babies. My 12 weeks old had 4 poos today all with a tiny bit of mucus in them. He’s also been vomiting quite a bit.
