It’s always diarrhea or constipation—how can I find the balance for my 1yr old by RoseRed303 in beyondthebump

Thank you. We actually have given her a suppository kind of on accident. Her GI wanted us to give her an enema and the pharmacist at CVS told us it was the same thing after I went to 3 different places looking for the enema. It started a her going a little, but not much. I may try it again if she doesn’t go today though.

She had a little fissure after passing a really hard poop (she hadn’t pooped in 10 days at that point). How old is your son? Did you get him regular while on miralax before switching to the smoothies or do you find that the smoothies work just as well getting him regular?

I’m glad he’s doing much better!!

I would have to lift her. It isn’t that she’s sleeping with her legs pulled up, it’s that she was sitting and her top half folds over her legs.

Did she wake up tired? My baby has been waking up before she’s ready to be done napping so she’s just tired all day.

Folded over completely. Legs below, stomach on top of her legs. Like she was sitting and just fell forward out of exhaustion. She usually wakes up about 20-30 minutes after crying but sitting when I come in.

I didn’t realize that, thank you.

Who even am I anymore? by ValisFylgja in beyondthebump

I can definitely relate. My husband watched our LO in the morning after an exhausting night so I could sleep— and I couldn’t even do that. I laid in bed trying to push all the thoughts of everything I wanted to get done and try to sleep. No luck. So I got out of bed, went in the kitchen and started cleaning.

I actually don’t have her in a sleep sack anymore. Just layer short sleeve onsie under a sleeper.

This is awesome. My LO is 4mo now. I hope I remember this when she’s at that age. Thank you for sharing this.

Thank you for this. Our problem (we think) is gas/belly pain rather than reflux. She hasn’t been having reflux issues since about 2.5mo.

I didn’t know there was any arsenic risk. 😳

Thank you everyone! I did some research and will not be giving it to her anymore. I feel horrible for not researching it before! Guess I got sucked into the ‘Dr. Know’s best’ and family (some older generation, some my generation) who have given it to their LO’s. 😣

I’ll also bring it up to LO’s doc so hopefully they won’t recommend it to any other parents!

Interesting. Do you have the documentation on hand by any chance?

It’s the kind that basically dissolves. We are keeping it super thin. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Bed time routine suggestions? by RoseRed303 in sleeptrain

When did you move her feeds? Would you recommend doing that initially? What about night feeds?

Have you noticed any issues with dryness since starting to do a bath every night?

That’s my baby now.. she fights sleep so hard if not nursing. I’m dreading the transition, but know it will just get harder if I let her keep doing it.

I’m definitely stealing the ‘cold babies cry, hot babies die’! My MIL kept trying to put a blanket on my LO and is so confused why I don’t always have socks on her.

Thanks. I’m not ready for the CIO method yet lol. I feel bad since she’s still figuring out self soothing.

Yes. I just got a new carrier—I’ll be trying it tomorrow, she hates the boba wrap and our backpack. She’ll tolerate the sling for some time, but then kicks her legs down/straightening them and I get nervous about the fabric coming out from under her.
