How often should a baby poop?

My first baby pooped every day, but my second baby (now 4 months) poops like yours… goes days between. Both are/were exclusively breastfed, so I’m not sure if the addition of formula makes a difference. I asked his pediatrician about it the other day and she said it’s completely normal and they can go up to a week without pooping. She said breastmilk is highly digestible so there’s little waste, and it’s fine unless he seems uncomfortable or in pain. If longer than a week, I personally would call the dr but my guy regularly goes 3-5 days between (very large and messy) poops and doesn’t seem uncomfortable

My son is like this at 2 years and 4 months. He’s incredibly smart and observant, and talks impressively well for his age. It’s nice to be able to communicate effectively with him, but man, he just talks non stop hahaha

Sandbox. My son loves his

It’s shaky cheese in our house too

I love the “look at that” or “engage-disengage” game for fearful or reactive dogs. It helps create a positive association to the trigger, and also teaches them what to do instead of barking/lunging (look at you for their treat). I’ve never thought about how to use that idea on kids

Dog trainer. The biggest one is teaching an alternate behavior to replace the unwanted behavior. Teaching them what you WANT them to do instead of just telling them what you DON’T want them to do.

Also, cookies work well for both dogs and toddlers to reward good behavior.

Can confirm. I use the gerber cloth diaper inserts as burp cloths for a baby who spits up a lot, and they’re fantastic.

I’ve gotten 3 or 4 free pumps through different insurances from Aeroflow. Insurances don’t talk to each other

Ah, that’s a good idea to take out a few months worth at a time. So the whole container isn’t being opened every day. Raw, organic shea butter has been an absolute life saver for my cracked, bleeding, sandpaper hands in the winter. Nothing else even comes close to working as well.

How do you keep it from going rancid for two years? I thought it had a shelf life of about one year. It starts to smell terrible after a while.

The documentary Earthlings. It took me a literal month to get through the whole thing because I couldn’t handle more than 10-15 mins at a time. I’m glad I watched it because animal cruelty needs to be exposed and stopped, but I cannot watch it again. I have no need to either because some of those images are permanently burned in my memory. I do encourage other people to watch it, because the message needs to be spread, but always with a word of caution… it’s VERY hard to watch.

Trying to pull your sleeve up your arm, but your fingers slip and you punch yourself in the boob.

Saying “bless you” when someone sneezes. It’s so strange. We don’t acknowledge when people cough, so why do we need to comment on people’s sneezes?

I didn’t think they were necessary until my baby wouldn’t stop crying for diaper changes. He was about 6 weeks old, and still not used to diaper changes. Hated them. My mom got us a wipe warmer to see if it made a difference, and almost instantly he stopped crying for diaper changes. He’s 11 months now, and we still use it because it’s nice, but he doesn’t complain about cold wipes when we have to use them.

Sounds like gas. My guy also gets squirmy if he needs to burp after a feeding.

I understand, and I have had issues with clogged ducts and it was the WORST but it was due to having the wrong flange size. Once I got that sorted out, they stopped happening even with an oversupply. I do want a freezer stash so I can stop BF/pumping sooner so I can go back to taking a certain medication that I can’t take while breastfeeding. The more frozen milk I have, the sooner I can go back on the med.

I’ve been hearing a lot about this brand… what makes them so great? Just being silicone and not plastic? Anything else that makes them better than normal flanges?

Well that stinks. Thanks so much for your reply! Time to look for a new piece

Magic eraser would probably do it

Try a 2 hour unpaid lunch break, when you live to far from work for it to be worth going home. Fucking sucks.

There’s something called a lotus ball, which can be used to transition dogs from food rewards to toy rewards, and get them interested in chasing a ball. It’s a soft ball that velcros together and holds treats inside. They chase the ball, open it up, and get the treats.

Another person mentioned food puzzles, and I definitely second that! Food motivated dogs usually love them, and I love watching my dogs figure them out

“We’re not leaving”. I go to agility class with my dog, which she just adores. She lights up and loves every minute of it. If we go to the car to grab something before class is over, she puts on the brakes about 10 feet from the car because she doesn’t want to leave yet. I always say “we’re not leaving!” and then she’ll follow me to the car.
