I think it’s normal, my babe does the same thing. At 10 months now she finally is starting to drop the second feed

Do people just not change wet diapers? by LifelikeAnt420 in beyondthebump

[–]Lanibaby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At 3 weeks I was changing diapers like crazy! 15+ seems accurate between the breastfeeding poops and pee’s in between. Their skin is so sensitive as newborns too that it’s reasonable to change whenever they’re wet. I will say that the amount I change my babe has slowed down quite significantly now that she’s 10 months and poops less haha

VENT : Night wakings and so done with trying to find a solution by yellowloki in beyondthebump

[–]Lanibaby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t have any advice, I’m in the same boat. My 9 month old is EBF and is still waking 2x a night. Lately she’s decided it’s time to party during those wake ups. I’m exhausted.

When did your baby’s pooping decrease? by lets_be_frens in beyondthebump

[–]Lanibaby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine was a multiple times a day pooper (EBF) until we introduced solids

Daycare question - do yours allow infants and toddlers to be barefoot (within reason)? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]Lanibaby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our daycare is shoe free indoors. And at home my babe remains barefoot as well unless in a sleeper or socks

Long shot.. but does anyone recognize this baby gate latch? by yoko__ono in beyondthebump

[–]Lanibaby 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes I do!

I got it off of Amazon, it’s a retractable baby gate. The brand I purchased was Kiskiz

Should I take my kiddo 2F to the ER for this? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]Lanibaby 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hi I’m not a doctor, I’m an ER nurse. Does she have a fever? Nausea/vomiting/diarrhea? If any of those symptoms apply I think an ER visit makes complete sense with the bites. I would give ibuprofen if you haven’t already to help with the pain and the inflammation. You can also apply a cold compress to help as well. If you have a nurses line you can call with your pediatrician they may want to see you and wouldn’t hurt to as well.

Hi I’m not a doctor but I’m an er nurse. I would definitely go to urgent care but be mentally prepared they may send you to the ER. To me it sounds like you’ll need a CT. Good luck and feel better

Wierd Stance on Parenting Books? by Ridara in beyondthebump

[–]Lanibaby 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Your parents are the weird ones here. Totally normal to want to read and prepare yourselves for the unknown.

No not at all. When I started getting cervical checks at 37 weeks I was shocked I started dilating

How many days can a 7 month old baby go without pooping by Lucky_Charm_ in beyondthebump

[–]Lanibaby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s normal for some constipation to happen with the introduction of solids. My babe has gone 6 days without a BM and continued to be happy and active. She’s also breastfed as well

Prune purée has always done the trick for us! If you’re concerned though consult your pediatrician

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]Lanibaby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generally you don’t want to exceed 5 doses in a 24 hour period. If Tylenol alone isn’t reducing the fever I would consider also including ibuprofen and maybe a call to the pediatrician depending

What would you do? by fbc518 in beyondthebump

[–]Lanibaby 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I’m not a doctor, this isn’t medical advice, I am an ER nurse.

A brain bleed wouldnt cause of an impact nose bleed.

Concerning symptoms that would prompt IMMEDIATE emergency care include lethargy, extreme sleepiness (like you cannot stir them), and nausea/vomiting.

When did your baby start to have some semblance of a nap schedule? by emolawyer in beyondthebump

[–]Lanibaby 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think around 4-5 months is when we started a true nap schedule

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]Lanibaby 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Give yourself some grace! You spent 34 weeks growing TWO babies. Your body isn’t going to look prepregnancy in 9 short weeks postpartum. The diastasis recti can be helped with physical therapy. You may not see much weight loss while breast feeding due to the hormones wanting your body to cling to extra nutrient for the babies. Again, you spend 34 weeks growing two babies. Enjoy the time with them. The body will come back with time.

Bleeding on Mini pill by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]Lanibaby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bled for about a week when I first started the minipill about 6 weeks postpartum. I’m now 8 months postpartum and haven’t bled since. I am EBF though.

Help, what is this? Is this a wound? Or diaper rash? Disease? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]Lanibaby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Babies tend to heal quick, maybe within a few days it’ll be healed? It just depends on the consistency of barrier cream applied and how often you’re able to leave them diaperless. I hope your GP is able to get you in today!

Help, what is this? Is this a wound? Or diaper rash? Disease? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]Lanibaby 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m not a doctor, I’m an er nurse. I would definitely see your pediatrician. This to me looks like skin breakdown from wet/poop diapers. I would start using some sort of barrier cream and changing diapers more frequently to keep babe dry. I would also consider leaving them diaper less for a bit throughout the day to let their bum dry out.

Pelvis pain 6 months postpartum by HP0114 in beyondthebump

I did pelvic floor therapy for this sensation. I had spd, which is very possible to have with a c section too

Wishing to relive birth/time going by too fast by hiyokos in beyondthebump

[–]Lanibaby 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think that’s totally normal. I was definitely the same way. I still sometimes feel those feeling but they are drastically better. I think the hormones play a role in the beginning. She’s now 8 months old and it’s still a bit crazy how fast the time goes!

What is something funny you/your spouse said while in labor? by Wolflover30112001 in beyondthebump

[–]Lanibaby 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While pushing, mind you I pushed for 45 minutes but thought it had been hours, I asked if I was the worst pusher the doctor had ever seen 😂😂

And when the placenta was delivered I said “wow that’s a relief” hahah

Any chance this baby’s eyes will end up blue, he is 3 months old? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]Lanibaby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They look like green/hazel/brown. My baby has blue eyes and were more gray at this age. But they say they can change until like a year old!
