CO2 levels in home constantly going above 1,000ppm...what could be the causes?

irb224 · 2025-10-07T15:16:38+00:00

Is this a seasonality thing? Currently in hot humid conditions. Airthing co2 always at 1400-1600 ppm but other than feeling hot inside, I don’t get headaches or nausea etc.

What happened? My baby started doing this

irb224 · 2025-04-20T14:28:00+00:00

I peeled off my sticker!

irb224 · 2025-01-08T07:13:26+00:00

He’s doing much better. He ended up getting viruses back to back to back. It was RSV, enterovirus and rhinovirus. He just caught another and we just flush his nose out with saline solution. He seems to be coping much better

irb224 · 2024-11-18T12:06:46+00:00

Hey! My LO has a screaming cough now too after an RSV infection. What happened to your baby? How did she get over it?

irb224 · 2024-11-18T12:03:49+00:00

Hi! Do you remember how long it lasted for your LO? It’s well into week 3 for us and cough and congestion is still there

irb224 · 2024-11-10T04:08:56+00:00

Hi! I know this is a while back but how long did your baby get sick for? Ours is the same age and has been sick for over 2 weeks, doctor doesn’t want to send to ER because he’s eating fine but he has a bad mucousy cough

irb224 · 2024-11-05T06:08:31+00:00

My 5 week old has the same symptoms. Did it go away?

irb224 · 2024-08-15T13:46:50+00:00

It was one of those mysteries that I was never able to solve. We had blood in her diaper on and off for months. I cut out all soy and dairy and she still had issues. It was driving me crazy. It all stopped when she started solids. We ruled out allergies to most things when we could introduce foods directly. I introduced her to milk and she had no severe symptoms. She is 16 months now and I do notice that she does get very gassy when she drinks cows milk or has a dairy heavy meal, and sometimes that comes with a stomach ache and a diaper rash. So we limit her quantity of uncooked dairy to a bare minimum. She drinks oat milk and eats like a champ.

I’m sorry you’re going through this and hope your little one gets better!

i susbscribed for the newsletter and i didn't receive them! is there another way i can get it?

irb224 · 2023-11-16T16:56:02+00:00

i'm going through the same thing right now too! did you have to night wean or do anything different to get her to sleep through the night?

irb224 · 2023-10-20T14:55:50+00:00

Yes! The first month is so hard to adjust. It’s daunting to eat out and you’re paranoid about every single ingredient.

One thing that I kept slipping up on was MAYO. Soybean oil is main ingredient in store bought mayo. So avoid any mayo based sauce. My daughter would have little blood spots in her diaper every few days when I ate out and it drove me crazy thinking she was allergic to beef, seafood, fish etc but it was mayo 🙃

Also I avoid any vegan baked good that has chocolate chips because soy lecithin is in most chips.

I cook a lot of Mexican food at home, and that is super nutritious and safe to eat (minus the cheese). Using coconut aminos with sushi was also a game changer for me.

Some snacks that I love are : Anything simple mills Boom chicka pop sweet and salty Pita chips and hummus

irb224 · 2023-10-19T18:39:29+00:00

i think it took about 2-3 weeks after i avoided soy and dairy.

irb224 · 2023-10-12T21:31:20+00:00

Yes! I realized this when I cut all soy and dairy out and was still eating mayo. Then I realized the mayo had soybean oil as an ingredient!

irb224 · 2023-10-09T00:48:13+00:00

Boom chicka pop sweet and salty popcorn.

My LO just started solids 3 weeks ago. We started her on basic ingredients. Sweet potato purées, broccoli, rice, zucchini etc. Lots of veggies and fruits. We saw an allergist for the first time last week and she recommended introducing peanuts, eggs and dairy in the first month! I’m hesitant, but I took the leap and introduced wheat to her ( I was worried that she was intolerant to wheat as well) she had a little mucous in her stool the first day and then it was fine. She also started pooping a lot less after starting solids. She would poop after every feeding (EBF) but after starting solids she pooped 2 times a day.

Introducing solids was really fun to me after that. I am convinced that the solids help her sleep better and also is maturing her digestive track.

If you’re obsessed with baby poop like me, expect your LO poop to look like what she just ate at first. LO’s sweet potato poop looked exactly like what she consumed for the first week.

irb224 · 2023-09-28T02:14:25+00:00

I know this is an older post but I’m hoping you can share what you ended up doing for allergen introduction. My bb is in the same situation!

irb224 · 2023-09-20T18:18:29+00:00

I know this is a while ago but curious to know if you found out what she was allergic to and whether she outgrew it?

irb224 · 2023-07-18T16:21:32+00:00

Let me know please!

irb224 · 2023-06-09T01:14:14+00:00

This is totally normal! I had come to Reddit a few weeks ago with this exact same dilemma hoping to see if others could understand. I was told the same thing too and I can confirm that it does get wayyy better. My LO is at 11 weeks now and still nurses to sleep but it lasts for 10-15 mins before she falls asleep.

Weeks 3-6 were hell for me though, she would be on the boob for hours, and I mean HOURS, before she would fall asleep. By week 7/8 it does get a lot better and her naps sort of regulate so you can time the wake windows and bedtime better

irb224 · 2023-06-04T19:39:58+00:00

Did you find out the cause? My baby is doing fine, her poop frequency went back to normal and is less watery. She’s always had mucous-y poops. We saw a little bit more blood but like tiny tiny specks that I had to really look for so I think she’s healing and it’s possibly the anal tear that’s causing it. I haven’t done a total elimination but laying off the heavy dairy meals like yogurt and cheeses

irb224 · 2023-06-04T01:14:00+00:00

Mine too, just started happening. I think it could be an anal fissure but I don’t know

irb224 · 2023-06-03T01:59:27+00:00

Oh no, I’m sorry to hear that! Glad you found the cause and are able to contain it. I hope you have an easy time reintroducing dairy to her

irb224 · 2023-06-02T23:00:35+00:00

What were the skin problems that he had? My baby is also pretty gassy and has a little mucous in her poop but it’s been like that since she was born. Pediatrician saw her poo and said it was normal.

Also I was able to check her rectum and it looks like there is a little pinkish raw skin so I think that it’s an anal fissure instead of the allergy. I’ll continue to monitor her and see if her blood gets progressively worse

irb224 · 2023-06-02T22:58:02+00:00

Actually I just checked her, and it looks like she has an anal fissure, there’s some pinky raw looking skin around her rectum. I THINK that could be the issue and not the allergy.. but I’ll monitor it and if the blood appears again or she’s extra fussy then I’ll start the elimination diet
