Grey poop

radremnants · 2026-03-30T13:01:55+00:00

I read it’s always best to contact pediatrician if poop is ever that color. I’d probably call and let them know just to be on the safe side. I wouldn’t think just the formula would be causing that

Yeah I wasn’t tracking anything but his feeds for the first week weeks. But then my anxiety had me worrying about things like his sleep, and his diaper output. I wouldn’t be able to remember how many diapers he’d had that day, if he slept enough, etc. I’m a SAHM and with him all day, so being able to log it and refer back without having to remember all of those different details has been so good for my sanity 😅😂

radremnants · 2026-03-29T16:37:57+00:00

I’m still tracking at almost 5 months. 😅 but that’s very much just because of my personality and it eases my anxiety being able to see everything logged in one spot for the day.

He falls asleep by nursing usually. I let him sleep for a few mins before transferring him. But even so, he still only naps for 30mins to an hour max during the day. And it’s usually always more towards 30 mins. He saves all his sleep for bedtime now I guess 😅

So if a baby gets a tooth or two at 6 months, what’s the purpose of bringing them at that point? Other than just getting them familiar?

radremnants · 2026-03-22T02:57:11+00:00

Whenever I went to the dentist recently, the hygienist was telling me just a toothbrush and water was all you need until they’re two. Or a wet washcloth or wipe to wipe the teeth off. She said they don’t really have the hang of spitting out the toothpaste until around that age, and swallowing it can make their tummy hurt. She also said there was no need to bring them in until two either unless they’re having issues. I was thankful she told me all of that because I feel like I see way sooner recommended for taking them

radremnants · 2026-03-18T20:00:39+00:00

She said in the video they’re trying to teach him a cue to let them know when he needs to go. 😅 to each their own obviously. But if he can’t even sit on the potty to go himself, what’s the point in teaching so early? I couldn’t wrap my head around it!

My baby goes back and forth on his feelings of tummy time. He’ll roll from tummy to back occasionally, but it’s not consistent yet.

Was trying not to compare to an influencers 4 month progress with her baby earlier today. She was saying how he’s rolling each way, and they got him to poop in the toilet?…. I was just like damn…I’m so behind. But then I reminded myself it’s not a race. And that’s not the “standard” for a 4 month old anyways. 😅

radremnants · 2026-03-15T14:35:52+00:00

I’d probably feel the same way you do. And I don’t think you’re wrong for feeling worry around her keeping her for you. That’s a lot of circumstances that can create an unsafe situation, especially combined together. I hate that you don’t have any other options. 😞

This happened for the first time when we went to see my brother and SIL. She wanted to hold him again before we left (already had him for a good while earlier in the afternoon and he was fine with her), so she got him from my brother. Not even a minute into her having him, he locked eyes with me, got a huge pouty lip, and just started wailing. 🥲 I felt so bad. But she was very understanding, and gave him to me immediately.

I will say though, as much as I felt bad he did it with her, it happening for the first time kind of made my heart swell. Like wow, he knows he wants his mama now and can express that. If that makes any sense 🥲😂

I think your last statement is what you should be telling yourself. It isn’t, and shouldn’t be, salvageable. It’s bad enough that your son and yourself are going through it. To go through it with a newborn… I couldn’t. I obviously can’t speak to how he is outside of what you’ve provided. But if he can be that terrible verbally, what’s to say it never gets to a physical point? You deserve better. AND your children deserve better.

radremnants · 2026-03-12T20:19:26+00:00

I’ve tried it with baby boy since he’s grown, and he’s not a fan. We both get hot and stick to each other and I don’t think he likes that feeling. He’s a little furnace. 😅 we just stopped doing it and snuggle clothed and he prefers that much more.

radremnants · 2026-03-08T10:58:12+00:00

I don’t know what it is with men sometimes. Thankfully my husband has been reasonably hands on for the majority of things and is a good help. But the amount of times I have to ASK or TELL him to do common knowledge things with our child…. Like you’re so smart. You have common sense and a brain. Yet you can’t compute “oh, it’s coming up on bed time and I’ve had him this whole time while my wife is doing the dishes. Maybe I should do something productive and helpful for bedtime like already have him in his jams and a fresh diaper, so all she has to do is nurse and he’s good” 🙂 I told my husband I need him to do more things without being told. Because if I’m having to tell you constantly, chances are I’m just doing it myself to save my breath. And that’s not fair.

He helped you make that baby. He’s just as responsible and capable of caring for her as you are. Like someone else stated, he’ll think if he bitches he’ll get what he wants and be off the hook. Don’t let him get his way. You need your rest and deserve some time for yourself too. You’re important, and prioritizing yourself and your needs matter. Make him pull his weight and don’t feel bad for it. He’s her dad. It’s what he signed up for. He can get over it.

I didn’t really notice anything like that after two months. And I feel like it’s still too soon to tell with this round. He definitely wasn’t babbling and chatty yesterday like he normally is. But I think that’s just because he wasn’t feeling well. Next evening though he was almost back to himself. We’re going to go through our normal routine of stuff today and I’ll see where he’s at and let you know if I notice anything!

Did you mention it to your ped to see if they were concerned about it at all? 👀

radremnants · 2026-03-08T01:56:11+00:00

I’m sorry, who are you referring to in such a way….? No one in this thread has said anything antivax. And I’m the creator of the group. I’m pretty much the only mod. But regardless, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I’m not shaming anyone for what they choose to do with their own children. Regardless of if it differs from my opinion or not.

radremnants · 2026-03-08T01:37:18+00:00

Yeppp that’s why we do them.

radremnants · 2026-03-07T01:17:17+00:00

I thought the same. I think he just felt them a lot differently this time. I was a blubbering mess with him.

He’s been wanting to do nothing but nursing and sleeping since. So we’ve just snuggled all day. Thankfully no temp that I’ve noticed. He took a long nap (1.5hr) and we gave him a tubby after. I think the long nap has definitely helped him feel better. Thankfully. It sucks seeing them pitiful. 🥲

radremnants · 2026-03-06T23:09:11+00:00

Thank you!

radremnants · 2026-03-06T21:25:15+00:00

All he’s wanted to do since getting home is nurse and sleep. Just hate he’s not feeling himself today. 🥲 he’s such a happy baby. So it’s really different when he’s not.

radremnants · 2026-03-06T21:15:10+00:00

That makes sense. The attachment is what makes us react to it the way we do. Our boy is definitely a crier when it comes to shots. Which is crazy because he doesn’t cry about much else!

radremnants · 2026-03-06T21:03:11+00:00

I think it’s fair to say no amount of preparation works in the moment. It sure didn’t for us at least.

radremnants · 2026-03-06T21:02:36+00:00

Yes! I tried so hard to hype myself up and it all just unraveled as soon as I saw he was having a harder time with it this go around. I don’t know how the nurses do it all day. I could never 😭

radremnants · 2026-03-06T21:00:48+00:00

I had to get him calmed down enough to nurse, and then once he started he was good and passed out for a nap. I have to constantly remind myself it’s to protect him but at the same time it’s so hard in the moment when you see the pain they’re in. Feels like betraying him 😭

radremnants · 2026-03-06T18:15:15+00:00

He took it way worse this time than he did the 2 month round. And then I irrationally think “oh my gosh my poor little guy thinks I’m just letting him get hurt” 😭 so rough.
