Was reading up on poo habits, A's poo is a little weird. Her poo is green, dark green, with bits of normal brown poo in it. It's very soft n can sometime explode out of her. I said it to the phn before n she said it's normal to be a bit green but if I'm worried I csn take a sample n have it sent off. I left it coz I thought it was only a thing all bsbies go through, but reading up, they say itcould be like that (showed a pic) if yyou're giving an irob supplement but if you're not giving that go to the doc to mske sure its not digested blood or melena
freaking out. Should have brought her to the doc ages ago.
She doesn't have a temperature though, she takes her bottle (most of the time), has moved up to a 210mls bottle so I don't see how it could be anything infectious or anything like that after settling with one thing, I find something else to panic about
Can anyone give me some light on this? I0 -

Nikpmup, I suffered from depression too at one point and was terrified with my first I would get pnd but luckily I was fine. It made me really question though any of the tears and frustrations I had as a new mum and I always worried "is this it again?."
But I think every mum here could tell you and loubian tales of sitting there with tears streaming down her face, or of being filled with frustration or anger or hopelessness. The thing is to mind yourself and keep talking to your gp and phn so they can keep an eye on you too. And we are all here too (day and night!)
You shouldn't beat yourself up about the bfing either nikpmup, you really gave it your best shot and that's all you can do. The world is full of formula fed humans!!
And loubian, I've done it both ways, alone with my first and I'm married now with this little girl and I can tell you there are pros and cons to both. Yes it can be tiring being on your own, but having just the two of you is lovely too (and you don't sit there seething at 4am looking at the hairy back of someone snoring blissfully!). The little girl I had on my own is 15 now and we couldn't be closer. In fact I'm finding it hard having to share this new little one
On another note, as I was typing this I noticed a large blob of chocolate on my chest.... Standards have gone out the window:o0 -

No sleep and 5 month old twins means mammy went out today and left front door wide open...until OH got home 2 hours later!! He thought we had been robbed. I can't believe we weren't robbed!!!! I love my babies but What I wouldn't do for a full nights sleep...
I did this too a few weeks ago. Luckily we're in an apartment so there was another locked door to the street!
A full nights sleep would just be heaven, although for the last 4/5 days J has been very good so I shouldn't jinx it 0 -

Can they get any bigger?! I'm doing it slowly, replacing feeds with bottles and then waiting a few days to replace another feed so hope it won't be too bad.
It is my choice (I was getting fed up) but it's also his choice, I haven't been well (bad tooth infection) and he's gone off my milk and wants bottles. I feel rejected!!! Ah no, he's 4 months now so I think feeding for that long is respectable enough so I feel ok but then a minute later I'll start feeling guilty and sad!

My little boys poo was like this too and was told by PHN that it was normal, so I rolled with it for months, I could literally hear it coming out of him, it was runny green sometimes yellow, if it happens withing an hour of having a bottle it could be lactose intolerance, we didnt get a diagnosis on this till he was 7 months old, changed milk and vast improvement almost immediately, just our experience.Was reading up on poo habits, A's poo is a little weird. Her poo is green, dark green, with bits of normal brown poo in it. It's very soft n can sometime explode out of her.

Hope all ye women are feeling better today, I used to cry alot after J was born, I was so exhausted, and didnt know how to express myself, that and being overwhelmed with a newborn, my partner and I didnt get together until J was 7 months old, so i felt so alone, despite having my parents support I still felt so alone, he is a great help now and thankfully things have worked out for us but it isn't easy and the majority of things are still left up to me to do, if I didn't do the washing poor J wouldnt have a thing to wear, and as for bottles himself wouldnt know where to start, he only recently learned how to change a nappy!!0 -

The poos used to freak me out. I remember my second lad had brown specks in it and I googled and like you blood was the common answer. So I brought him to the doctor and he said he was fine.
Google can be a god send at times. ..but other times it can be an absolute killer.
I'd say bring him to the gp for peace of mind.0 -

I second what Gee_g says....its hard to speak up because atbthe beginning its supposed to be the best most precious time of your life and you are supposed to just be so inlove with baby and enjoy your new little one. And while yes a lot of that happens no one talks about how hard it is and how a lot of people feel physically and emotionally like they have been run over by a bus. I had a very tough time and said nothing until he was 4 months old and I was diagnosed with pnd. Its definitely ok to feel overwhelmed and ask for help. We are only human!
Anyways-my rant lol...why oh why has 6:30 become wake up scream until mommy gets up time??? Ugh!! What am I going to do when the time changes

My boy was always a fan of a lie on, the earliest was around 8.30. So I wasn't too worried about the clocks changing. But...he has now decided 7am is a far better time to get up! Typical! So I'd say I will also have some early starts after it!Rachineire wrote: »I second what Gee_g says....its hard to speak up because atbthe beginning its supposed to be the best most precious time of your life and you are supposed to just be so inlove with baby and enjoy your new little one.
