Good thread!
Circumcision care
Poop colors
Why do babies have trouble farting (this is interesting, one thing I read said they can push the gas down but haven't figured out how to open their anal sphincter at the same time so that's why they do so much pushing/grunting)
When do infants stop pooping at night
I'm sure there are more, will keep thinking.

Reducing swelling in feet post childbirth (my feet are seriously gigantic, it hurts to bend my ankles. Same with DS1 and it took forever to go down).

I googled so much when DD2 was a baby but now that she’s 2 months all I’ve googled this week is the Fridababy windi that my sister recommended.

Yes she swore by it. We just got some yesterday. I didn’t think it did much yesterday the few times I tried it but it definitely worked this morning with letting out gas and making her poop. |

We shut him out of the upstairs last night because the previous night he woke me up So. Many. Times. I love our pets, but not gonna lie, I calculate lifespans on a fairly regular basis 😛 |

My googling has decreased dramatically since DS was a baby haha. But these last few days have been:
Baby favours one breast
Forceful letdown
6-7 week old baby
In short, she’s adjusting her bfing needs again and yesterday especially was painful!

I have not googled anything! I use you guys as my informed google. For example, how does the windi work? So you lube up the end with coconut oil or something like that and put it in the baby’s butthole and it releases the gas and sounds like a whistle. A few times it didn’t do that for me so I took it out and reinserted. I guess releasing the gas makes everything else move. Nothing happened after the whistle for us but about an hour later all hell broke loose. |

snowyowl what'd you find out about swelling? My feet are killing me and so are my hands. I gave myself a foot massage today because DH refuses. I think I have two pairs of shoes that fit me right now. I didn't have this with DD and stupidly thought it would resolve quickly after birth.

I think I have two pairs of shoes that fit me right now. I didn't have this with DD and stupidly thought it would resolve quickly after birth. The suggestions weren’t anything I hadn’t seen before. Drink tons of water, elevate when possible. Ice from time to time. I had the same swelling with my first DS, and I remember it took ages and ages to go down. Same thing this time. It’s so annoying, the skin actually hurts around my ankles. |
