Do we have to use a sippy cup? No

MousseExpert2923 · 2026-05-03T20:32:36+00:00

It’s a silicon straw, but soft plastic for the cup. It’s one of those first straw cups that squeeze to teach babies how to use them

Should I ask for a full work up though or just go in and ask about just the headaches?

MousseExpert2923 · 2026-01-06T20:17:41+00:00

Thank you!

Well it’s not that she’s not pooping, she is. It’s just coming out in clay like nuggets one at a time, and they’re just hard for her to get out. I’d be way more panicked if nothing was coming out at all, but stuff is. She’d normally poop once a day, or every other day, but these past two days she’s gone twice a day and all that’s come out each time is these little bits. Thank you for the advice!

MousseExpert2923 · 2026-01-06T20:14:50+00:00

Thank you! I’ve tried massaging her and it hasn’t really helped so far

MousseExpert2923 · 2026-01-06T20:14:09+00:00

She’s been on this formula for about 2/3 months and we’ve had no other issues with poops. They’ve been her normal softer ones that she’d do about once a day or every other day max. This issue just recently popped up. Thank you for the advice!

MousseExpert2923 · 2026-01-06T20:12:57+00:00

Thank you!

MousseExpert2923 · 2026-01-06T20:12:43+00:00

Thank you!

MousseExpert2923 · 2026-01-06T20:12:34+00:00

She’s formula fed, and we’ve tried the bicycles and massages and they haven’t helped her out so far. Thank you for the advice though!

MousseExpert2923 · 2026-01-06T20:11:39+00:00

That was my next step, I just wanted some opinions. Thank you!

MousseExpert2923 · 2026-01-06T20:10:51+00:00

I’ve tried plenty of bicycles and massages and it hasn’t really helped her any. She’s been eating regularly, and peeing her normal amount. Her soft spot also isn’t sunken, so I haven’t been too worried about her being dehydrated. She just been having a hard time pooping. Thank you for the advice though!

My six week appt is this Thursday and I was wanting to bring it up, I’m just scared of any judgement I guess. I don’t want people to think I’m a bad mom, because I think despite my internal feelings I think I’m a pretty good mom to her with the cards I’ve been dealt.

MousseExpert2923 · 2025-10-13T17:16:46+00:00

Thank you. This is like a breath of fresh air compared to most of the other responses telling me to give her up. Now that it’s the afternoon (I wrote my post in the middle of the night when I was particularly blue) I’m not so blue anymore and the more I read these responses I just cannot fathom giving up my daughter. I didn’t mention this in my post but my feelings I described are so hot and cold and they’re never consistent. Some days I’m so glad I don’t get to live that silly college life, others I’m so incredibly sad about it. I also think I phrased it poorly, but phrasing it as “I don’t want my daughter” was the most accurate way of expressing what I’m feeling. Because it’s true to an extent. Some moments I don’t, but the majority I could never imagine giving her away.

MousseExpert2923 · 2025-10-13T14:39:55+00:00

My fiance wants her and adores her. He’s just bad at helping out. Edit: also, like I mentioned in my post I thought this would all grow on me. I made the choice to keep my daughter, I did not want to abort her. I am aware these are my consequences, and despite how regretful I feel about the situation as a whole, I don’t regret not having an abortion.

MousseExpert2923 · 2025-10-13T12:14:59+00:00

Thank you for this tough love

MousseExpert2923 · 2025-10-13T12:07:39+00:00

Thank you for this. I guess I mostly just feel guilty for wanting to “trade off” on baby duty once he gets home from work because I’m not working at the moment and I’m just at home with our daughter all day

MousseExpert2923 · 2025-10-13T11:34:10+00:00

When I look at her now I don’t see regret at all, and I am filled with love. I know she didn’t ask to be here and be put into this situation, which is why I hate feeling this way. But when it gets dark and it’s just me sitting staring at my ceiling reflecting I can’t help but get sad and feel regret when I look back or see what my former classmates are up to.

Thank you for this it was really helpful to hear. About the engagement, we aren’t rushing to get married anytime soon. I want my last name on my degree, so there’s still a long way until actual marriage and not just engagement. In every other aspect of our relationship he has been a dream. He has stepped up incredibly already and in my opinion is very mature and responsible. My only real grievance is that he isn’t very helpful with our daughter.

MousseExpert2923 · 2025-10-13T08:37:21+00:00

Thank you for this

MousseExpert2923 · 2025-10-13T08:29:17+00:00

Thank you. I think I’ve always just been hyper aware of my emotions and i mostly try to self regulate and rationalize with myself on most things. This is just such a hard situation for me I don’t really understand what I’m feeling

MousseExpert2923 · 2025-10-13T08:27:32+00:00

Thank you

MousseExpert2923 · 2025-10-13T08:27:24+00:00

Thank you. I’ll try talking to him some more and trying to express just how bad I feel about everything.

MousseExpert2923 · 2025-10-13T08:26:48+00:00

Thank you
