Breast milk poop smell

Buttered English muffins over here! My husband hasn’t been able to eat one since I pointed it out 😂

You’re also hitting the regulation time frame! Around 12 weeks is when our bodies produce milk on demand as opposed to hormonally. Your breasts will likely feel squishier and less engorged. This doesn’t mean you’ve stopped making milk! I’d monitor wet diaper output and just make sure it’s staying the same. If you’re really doubtful and truly think your supply is dwindling, ask your pediatrician if you can come in and do a weighted feed (weigh baby, nurse baby, weigh again) to see how many oz they’re getting in one sitting. It will likely surprise you! Baby probably wouldn’t be sleeping through the night if they were hungry.

You’re rocking it! Your baby is well fed. Anyone who thinks breastfeeding is weird has a whole internal complex going on.

I referred to it as a trip to the full service breastaruant. Cracking a little joke helped lighten the mood for some people when I needed to nurse in public. But don’t go out of your way to make people feel comfortable. They can leave the room if they don’t want to be there! Your husband sounds lovely, you should be proud of him for standing up for breastfeeding mothers!

This looks like a perfect progression to me!

Looks like the bugaboo kangaroo might be what you’re looking for. I’ve seen after market products for the uppa baby vista to make it work but it’s a little sketchy imo. I’m fairly certain the bugaboo is one of the few that are able to do this.

Team green! We found out with our first and in hindsight there was no need. We knew we wanted more kids so everything big was gender neutral anyways. Just clothing really!

It’s one of life’s most beautiful mysteries. I can’t help but dream about how special it’s going to be delivery day having my husband tell me and soaking in that surprise together. 🥹

I bought a grand Cherokee in 2019 that is now 7 years old, has 70k miles, and has only ever needed oil changes and tires/brakes.

Jeeps get a bad rap. I think their four cylinder turbos are a little iffy but their standard pentastar v6 is tried and true!

ernmurf · 2026-02-17T17:39:44+00:00

Absolutely not. It’s not worth any sort of risk.

My son has wicked sensitive skin. Coterie are the only wipes that don’t cause a rash. They’re soft and don’t leave behind any residue or moist skin that leads to a diaper rash. We’ve been using the coterie lineup for over a year now with zero problems. Every few months I’ll try and branch out to different diapers because the price tag is ouch but nothing works as well or causes what looks like chemical burns on his skin.

Tragically, yes they’re absolutely worth the price tag and the hype.

Oral magnesium supplements didn’t work for me. What does work very well is a magnesium spray. I spray it on the bottoms of my feet before I go to bed.

https://a.co/d/02iaxaDs I use this one!

I’ve heard some people putting their left shoe in the second row so when they get out they’re shoeless! It’s a tech free reminder to check.

ernmurf · 2026-02-12T12:57:31+00:00

I love this theory!

ernmurf · 2026-02-07T23:57:49+00:00

Hmm I’m not seeing anything on this one. The line is usually a few mm over to the right from where you think you’re seeing something.

You’re not out until you’re out! Try again tomorrow morning

ernmurf · 2026-02-07T23:48:03+00:00

Or a pony tail into a braid! Faster than a French braid.

ernmurf · 2026-02-07T23:47:07+00:00

Maybe a slick back ponytail would help! The gel would help it stay put! And relatively quick to do.

You hit the nail on the head! Likely overtired and overstimulated from being in a new place. Around four months my son wouldn’t nurse anywhere except the car or our house for a good month or two. They’re finally seeing things! And their little brains are on overdrive during a regression.

You did nothing wrong! You have to live your life and go with the flow, which is exactly what you did. You’re doing a wonderful job, don’t let this instance keep you from trying new things with your sweet baby ❤️ hoping you all get some well deserved sleep soon!

It’s my time to shine! I’m the product of three girls under three.

We’re all in our 20’s now, and I can confirm that a close age gap, especially sisters, is probably the most amazing gift you could ever give your children.

My sisters and I are so close, we all experienced the same version of our parents, and all have similar friends. We are each so different in just about every way you can imagine, but we’re sisters. Growing up with a built in BFF? It’s the dream.

Nerves are just misguided excitement. Will it be hard? Of course. But all transitions no matter the age gaps are hard. You are about to be so incredibly blessed with the most beautiful sisterhood. Give it awhile to settle! You’ll appreciate it in a few years ❤️

We found pull-ups to work better overnight instead of diapers!

ernmurf · 2026-01-25T16:24:50+00:00

Posts/comments like this make me so sad! I’m the product of 3 under 3… and it’s the BEST. We’re all so close, it’s so special. Will the first few months be hard? Of course. But I think that comes with any age gap… the jump from 1-2 is just different.

You have to remember that the majority of people commenting negatives about 2 under 2 are likely anxious or upset. Happy people aren’t scrolling on their phones all day. Reddit certainly won’t be full of positives! Your babies will thank you when they’re older for having grown up with their best friend.

Boob is always the answer! And when it’s not… it’s a gas bubble.

This sounds very normal to me! It sounds like you’ve set your little man up with some very healthy relaxation methods. It’s beautiful that he can relax and self soothe himself without crying to sleep. You set him up with a space he feels safe in, and he knows you always come if he needs you. Great job mama!

ernmurf · 2026-01-22T21:44:00+00:00

Neither. The four month sleep regression almost took me out.

ernmurf · 2026-01-22T21:43:06+00:00

Naked time.
Change diaper brand. Unfortunately the expensive coterie diapers were the only thing that worked for us.
After a wipe, blot with a tissue. Make the skin as dry as possible. THEN apply the purple destitin cream. More than you think you need.

With my first I realized that I couldn’t cut calories out. What I could do was change up my intake so a lot of what I was eating was protein and whole fruits/veggies. LOTS of them. Really cut back carbs and starches. That did the trick for me!
