I just need to vent. I have been a shitshow with allergies for over a month and the earliest I can get and appointment to see an allergist is Dec 6!!! And my daughter is afraid of her Halloween costume which sucks. Tomorrow is the town Halloween stuff so I am hoping we can wrangle her for at least an hour to score us some candy... Hope you all are good, I wish I could keep up! Wow that is a long wait to see the dr - sorry! Maybe you can pester them regularly and see if you can get in sooner in case there are cancellations? Hope trick and treating will still be fun!

I am not liking the new tapa update! I miss the comment text box on the bottom which made commenting on multiple posts at once much easier .. I hate having to comment on a seperate page now. Like i can remember all I wanted to say without scrolling back n forth between comments!?

I think yesterday was the worst day M has had so far. She was a beast!! Yesterday and this morning her poop is green. Does anyone know what that could be from? Should I be worried?

A has had some green poop, it's not a big deal if it happens sporadically. I read it could be from not getting enough hind milk, something you ate, them being sick. So it's pretty random.

Iβve been dealing with green poop a lot since early on. It can mean allergy, sensitivity to something you ate, hindmilk/foremilk imbalance or nothing at all lol. Itβs so hard to tell. She may just have an upset tummy from something you ate. I would think if it just started, itβs likely not an allergy or anything. I notice it a lot at night when she is cluster feeding so for me I think she is getting too much foremilk.

A few random questions, wondering if your babes are doing any of this?
She still has her fists tightly clenched most of the time. Anyone else?
She also started a new thing with clamping her gums and dragging across my nipple instead of popping off, omg so much pain.
Blowing tons of bubbles and drooling?

I took R to work yesterday and spent 2.5 hours, because she just slept. Today, my younger brother is helping H change the brakes on both our cars. Tomorrow my older brother is bringing his kids. We still have to find time to grocery shop and carve the pumpkin.

jt2378 Baby H still has the tightly clenched fists most of the time. He has some drooling but that's just started recently. He does frequently do the clench and violently pull off the boob. Ouch!! I think he's trying to squeeze out the last bits of milk.

I have to unclench them to pick out all the lint that gets trapped in there π· Tons of bubbles and drooling too. In fact I started putting bibs on her a few days ago because her clothes were getting soaked.

For DS1's upcoming 3 year old birthday, we decided to take him to an amusement park 2 hours from us. We left 2 hours late and are currently in heavy traffic and baby H is crying. Sigh.

My parents just left and I cried. It was so nice seeing them 3 days in a row and having them help with j and watch him last night. They said he screamed for 30 minutes last night. He woke up screaming. He hadn't pooped in 5 days and was constipated. We gave him an ounce of apple juice and he passed one really hard ball of poop and the. Had 3 regular poops after that. Glad he is feeling better. I won't see parents again until thanksgiving which sucks. I'm worried about thanksgiving because we are driving 2.5 hours to get there and it's going to be a lot of people wanting to hold him and I'm not sure he will tolerate it.
My mom helped me clean my flower beds today while my dad had j. This has been bugging me for a month so I'm glad it finally is done.
As for the questions, J has tight fists when he is awake but they go limo when he sleeos. They also go limo when he eats. He blows bubbles all the time and drools sometimes.

Heβs starting the drooling thing. But today has been a big spit up day. And lots of it. Oof. At least the reflux med is working and itβs not bothering him!

king26 Iβm sorry itβll be awhile to see your parents again. What day are you guys traveling to them? Could you go a day early to have that day for J to relax and regroup before everyone descends on Tday? Holy guacamole to his poop experience. Iβm glad he finally got it out!! I need to get my infant massage folder out of the car and post pics of the tummy massage to encourage pooping.

She also started a new thing with clamping her gums and dragging across my nipple instead of popping off, omg so much pain. Blowing tons of bubbles and drooling? D. too still clenches her fists a lot. She will grab me or MHs fingers (and once her hand around MHs beerbottle - hilarious even tho it made for a disturbing sight too haha) and holds on to my shirt while nursing sometimes π I had her grab a toy the other day for the first time but apart from that she s not really interested in toys yet. Haha and yes to the omg all that lint. I try to clean her hands daily but it can be quite a challenge to get her to unclench those cute little fists and let me get the sticky lint out from in between her fingers π The clamping thing was something she did when she was younger but not so much now no more. Thankfully cause damn that hurts. Here the drooling started a couple of weeks ago, ditto on the bubbles. Made me wonder whether she was teething like really early (my sister had her first 2 teethies at 2 mo so ny mum totally freaked me out with that tidbit of info haha) but cant feel anything. Seems to be normal going by what you all write π

I know tis okay but I cant help feel bad for not being around much lately. I do read but responding just doesnt happen much atm. I havent been doing great lately. It itself things are going okay and little D is doing well.. I just feel rather detached somehow and like real easily overwhelmed, anxious and out of sorts. so I try to stick to the basics and not add to much else. MH will be off for 2 weeks end of next week and I am so looking forward getting some time without the baby. Which makes me feel terrible but I think an hour here or there won't matter to her and will so me a world of difference! I just hope I can handle not knowing whats going on and how she is doing.. lol.

D has been a really consistant pooper but these past days things have been off. She hasnt pooped since Friday afternoon (had a couple of huge poopsplotions then). I know tis okay and normal for small BF babies to not poop even for days in a row but it still worries me. MH suggested to give her some warm water maybe - as they used to do when he was getting his nursing degree - but I don't know whether that s okay? Wouldn't that make her tummy full to where she won't want to nurse? Or is a little bit okay? Does it even work?? We have her 2mo appointment (and shots boo) on wednesday so i will ask then.

muscari I called the doctor and they said I could give apple, pear, or prune juice. I gave 1 oz. apple and j pooped 4 times yesterday which has never happened. They say you can give as many ounces as the age so 2 months could give 2 oz. Also don't feel bad having time away from the baby. You need it! I still have anxiety when I leave without j but I need the time to myself and my h needs time alone with j

Oh my... the sleep deprivation struggle is real. My DS is waking up more at night than the baby! And of course he only wants me (he just screams and cries at my H, but DH deals with it sometimes if Iβm nursing). I canβt wait for the new sibling adjustment period to be over.
Also, some neighborhood kids have stolen all our Halloween pumpkins. Jerks stole DSβ painted pumpkins and smashed them on the sidewalk! Iβm so mad.
