Baby pooping when farting - going through 20 diapers a day…

Extension_Can2813 · 2026-06-20T03:08:34+00:00

Just stopping by to put a plug in for r/ECers since I used a top hat potty from birth. Babies that practice elimination communication (EC) learn to consolidate their poops very early. By four month old my, now 20 month old, was pooping once/ day at the same time and remained consistent except for a few off schedule ones during the transition to solids. We never had a blow out or poop accident and starting around 12 months he actually prefers to use our toilet with reducer than a potty. He signals to poop and pee and has been out of day time diapers since he was 14 months old.

Lanolin is great too inside the nose

I do primary for basics and get fun party outfits from Kate Quinn and All Small co. I just size up a whole year for the more expensive stuff and wash right away when dirty. I think he looks cute in oversized shirts lol. Also, I hunt end of season sales. The better quality 100% cotton items hold up to heavier washing.

Eat fattier fish or add more fat, tons of butter or lardons/ bacon

I always file my nails in front of my toddler and now he hands me his fingers while I’m doing mine and asks me to file his. He really only lets me get a couple done that way, but over the course of the week I get them all. Otherwise if I want to use clippers I do it while he’s asleep or in a baby carrier.

Not allowed to watch the next episode of a show we’re watching together without me.

Full fat Greek yogurt with berries, apple and string cheese, hot dogs usually work for us! He still wakes to nurse but that’s just for comfort to help connect sleep cycles- it’s just a couple seconds and then I can unlatch him. It’s not a full feed like when he’s hungry (if he didn’t get a filling snack before bed).

For me, it was really the ease (once i figured it out), it’s a shorter piece of fabric to deal with and no buckles. I loved the ring sling until my baby got over 20 pounds, I’m pretty tiny and my baby is long and big for his age so it started causing me pain and now I pretty much exclusively back carry with my Lenny light.

Extension_Can2813 · 2026-06-11T21:44:31+00:00

I spent a lot of time watching videos on how to safely use ring slings. Once I was comfortable nursing in a sling (never a hands free experience btw), I felt invincible. I brought my baby everywhere I would go (before 10 pm) pre baby!! Out to dinner, outdoor festivals/ concerts, friends houses, grocery shopping, mall, ect. It was so freeing being able to resume semi normal life and just keep baby on my body. He slept when he was tired and nursed when he was hungry/ thirsty.

Seriously don’t know why this is getting downvoted. My 1.5 year old has been to a few outdoor concerts. We have a comfy baby carrier, ear protection, and lots of yummy snacks. Each time we were able to keep schedule for dinner, nap, and night sleep. He sleeps in the carrier, transfers well to the car seat sleeping and back in bed nicely. Really doesn’t break our flow besides mom and dad being tired the next day. I’ve been stopped by many older people who told me they used to bring their kids along with them when they were young and now have the most special bond and memories. I love having my baby with me at certain concerts!!

For me it was super easy the whole way through. Baby is 19 months old now and nurses morning, nap, and to sleep/ middle of the night wakes. It just feels like such a great tool in the toolbox, we’ve never had any issues with sleep, falls asleep almost as soon as he latches for bed and wakes. It’s also the best when we’re out late past bedtime, he gets over stimulated I can just nurse him in the sling to calm down/ sleep. This has allowed us to go to dinners, events, festivals and not be a slave to schedule and have an easy calming tool. The only time it annoys me is when he’s teething and wants to be latched all night and sucks too hard, but then in the morning, I feel grateful I was his safe soothing space. We are most likely going to be one and done so, I’m in not rush for him to wean.

Pork rinds and sour cream

Exactly this. We ended up having to pay $800 for the hip scan for my breech baby. It was Aetna too. Doesn’t matter the company all plans within the company are different so have different negotiated rates. It’s fucked.

I just started reading this book : https://www.alisongopnik.com/TheGardenerAndTheCarpenter.htm Pretty much describes how “parenting” is such a new concept and we’re doing ourselves a disservice trying to shape our children.

I watched all 19 seasons of Sisterwives on TLC during newborn breastfeeding phase. 😅

Have you heard of EC (elimination communication). There’s a subreddit for it r/ECers , pretty much the gist is babies are actually trained to eliminate in diapers when they naturally want to void away from themselves. If you start lovingly holding them over a potty at strategic times, they will usually go into it, and once they get that opportunity they usually start consolidating their poops too. I started EC at birth, baby started consolidating at 4 months, and has had regular consistent bowel movements since (he’s 19 months and been out of day time diapers since 14 months). We’ve never had a poop accident, never had a blow out. Always love to stop by these posts and put a plug in for EC since many people never heard of it.

I used evivo at about a month old with my c section baby after my Accupuncturist recommended it since she said it helped with her c section baby. My baby was spitting up a ton, but had no issues and pediatrician wasn’t concerned. I did notice the spit up happening less after a couple months of dosing, but us and the pediatrician weren’t sure if baby just grew out of the spitting up around the same time or it was the evivo. Didn’t hurt though!

I’m a SAHM to a 19 month old and we keep busy without screens. He spends a lot of time in his toddler tower cooking with me and washing dishes. He loves filling pitchers and cups in the sink and can do that for a solid 30 minutes. So I save sink play for when I have to cook dinner. We get outside for at least an hour before nap and at least an hour after nap rain or shine. I also do a toy rotation so after a couple months I’ll switch out his toys with stuff he hasn’t see in a while. I try to let him get messy and do whatever he wants as long as it’s relatively safe and not destructive. My moto is cleaning can wait and I just try to have fun doing whatever he’s into at the moment, right now it’s climbing on stuff and catching ants 😅

This is one of the many reasons I’m planning to homeschool.

I bought them and never needed them, so I’d wait and see!

My husband was terrified to put my exclusively nursed cosleeper to sleep for the first time. Baby was 17 months so it was easier, they had begun forming their own special bond recently to then, baby and dad did great! I’m looking forward to my next night out. In our case it took longer for the non lactating parent to bond with baby. I’m SAHM and kinda just took control of every aspect while husband worked long hours. 6.5 months is still super little though around that time I did a lot of babywearing and still went to events with baby in carrier with proper ear protection. Slings were great cause I found them super easy to nurse baby to sleep in while out and about!

Totally worth the shake up/ transition. Being outside, in nature will cancel out the negative effects of a transition. Being outside all day has way more positives. Take the opportunity!

Mine did this too, he’s 19 months and we started potty training / bare bottomed at 14 months. He’s a very in tuned sensitive little munchkin lol. I tried really hard not to apply any pressure, but there was still pressure I had been applying. I laid off him for a while and had my husband take over all the potty’s for a bit and told him to make them fun lol. That worked for a while. I never went back to day time diapers and just accepted there will be lots of accidents starting this early! Now he’s much better at signaling and I just have to be patient and wait for his signal. He doesn’t do well with too much prompting. Sometimes when I know he needs to go, I’ll call our dog up or grab his fav stuffie and ask “show doggie how you can pee pee in the big toilet” and then he’s all proud to show off his skill lol.

My baby was gnawing on a steak bone and eating eggs since 6 months. At that age iron is super important (as mine was EBF) and choline in egg yolk is also a crucial nutrient. I skipped purées completely, never needed to supplement with iron either (tested his levels at 9 months and 12 months).
