Constipation

Toddler doesn’t eat much but will eat breakfast/snacks and maybe half a dinner a day. However she’s still passing hard/dark pebbly stools, I’ve swapped her milk to lactose free and that hasn’t helped, she drinks a lot of water and she’s active I’m not sure what else it could be😭

Visitors after birth

My fiancé’s sister had a baby on Thursday. It’s now Monday. She had a c-section. We aren’t particularly ’close’ to her but will be visiting once she feels up to it. I’ve just had a conversation with my partner where I asked if he had spoken to his sister, as he was thinking of visiting tonight. He is planning on che...

First Speeding Ticket

Hey ladies, I just received my first speeding ticket in Corpus Christi yesterday afternoon (10/20/2024) for going 18 mph over. I’m legit a little freaked out cause I don’t want this to impact my insurance but also because I’ve never been through this process before. 🥲 Any tips would be much appreciated.

Suddenly pooping 6+ times a day

We’re about a month into weaning and omg the past few days she’s pooping 6+ times a day, i literally changed 3 poopy nappies within the last hour alone 🙃 I’ve started to wonder if it’s normal as before she pooped once a day, sometimes even skipped a day but since Thursday it’s non stop.

How many dirty nappies do you change a day?

My 16 month old does about 3-5 poos a day. Does anyone else experience this or do you think I should speak to the doctor? The texture can range from solid to mushy (?😂) But not diarrhoea. Only asking because her nursery always comment about how often she goes.

Mouldy biscuit

I think my baby ate a mouldy biscuit 😭 I went into her room and she had thrown her whole play basket into the floor and there must have been a biscuit at the bottom and I found it on the floor kind of half eaten and I’m super worried she ate it 😭 she was only left alone for 2 mins so I could have a wee and now I…

Toddler 💩

My toddler has been pooing 4+ times a day for about a week now. It’s absolutely exhausting!! She normally does 1-2 per day max. Nothing has changed with her diet, she is well within herself so don’t think it’s a stomach bug. Any ideas?

Has anyone experienced almost black poo after having a smoothie that contained Spanich? I made a smoothie that contained Spanich, lime, ginger, green apple, kiwi and chia seeds. This was first thing in the morning.

Please answer if you have smoothies often and have experienced this. I am freaking out as I’ve experienced black poo in my pregnancy and worried this is something else. So I’m just thinking if this is food related.

Reflux

If your babies have reflux, what have you done to manage it? My baby has it for more than 2 months and everyone keeps saying it's normal but I wonder if that's what's been keeping her unsettled. She spits up more frequently before and nowadays she seems to swallow them instead and showing symptoms of silent reflux.
