For three weeks the baby's poop had been getting greener and runnier, with some mucous, and happening more frequently. My angel baby, who was such a good sleeper was starting to poop three times a night and wake himself up.
I did a lot of research, but couldn't figure out the cause. I don't eat any of the common offenders, like dairy, soy, wheat, coffee, because I'm on a strict medical diet (GAPS). The only thing that had been different in my diet over the last month is that I had started drinking La Croix waters, almost addictively. Last week I was having 3-4 per day.
So, three days ago I cut out the waters and finally yesterday his poops returned to yellow and he didn't poop through the night. Last night he gave me a six hour atretch again.
No more delicious waters for me. It makes me wonder, if they were changing my milk - the pH or something - what was it doing to my own body?
creepyeyeball can you get one of those machines that carbonate your water, and then infuse it with fruit?
I may try it. I have so few joys when it comes to food. I haven't had grains or sugar in three years. I can't eat at restaurants or pretty much unless I make it from scratch. Now I can't even have the delicious water.
But I should count my blessings, because my diet has allowed me to manage my Crohns Disease without meds for three years now.
I'm sitting here on the couch snuggling DS. He fell asleep after nursing. I reaaaaaally don't want to go to work. I just want to snuggle and play with him. I wish we could afford for me to not work outside the home. At the very least, afford for me to only nanny (getting paid to care for cute kids and being able to bring DS is just amazing).
That's nuts, creepyeyeball. I wouldn't think that would have such an impact, but glad you figured it out. Have you tried Poland Spring flavored carbonated water?

I haven't. Maybe I'll give it a few weeks and try that kind. It could have just been the amount I was drinking. Maybe after a break just one every now and then won't hurt.
Well it looks like LO is sick now. His nose is all stuffy and he was up every 30-45 min from 9-3 last night. I'm hoping that's why he's been fighting sleep so hard lately. Poor guy . Sick babies are so sad.
Poor guy! I hope he feels better. Do you have a Nosefrida?
Big hugs, buttercup. Stay off Google! When is the biopsy?
Next Wednesday. I didn't want to do it, because who likes subjecting their little one to a procedure, but now I really want to know what it is. It is scary crap.
I will be thinking positive thoughts for you guys. Hopefully it is nothing.
heartbot I've noticed some sleep regression with DS too. For quite a while I was able to count on a straight 8 hours. Now he has been cutting back down to 5-6 hours, then another 3 hours. And he is getting really close to rolling from back to belly, so I'm going to have to stop swaddling, which will likely affect his sleep.
GDI. One of the kids at my work just asked what grade I'm in.
That's not as depressing as when they don't card you when buying booze
I always get carded at the store, but when I order at a restaurant it's probably only 2/3 times I get carded. But it's also really frustrating being an adult and having everyone assume you are a teenager. It's makes me really self-conscious. I try to non-chalantly display my wedding ring when meeting people.

I had visions of sitting on the porch with wine while the baby sat in the bouncer and the toddler played with stamps. In record time the baby totally lost it and the toddler rubbed the stamp pad all over his face and body. Then toddler found corn starch and dumped it in the kitchen and tracked it all over. But...I have wine!
Why does it take DH 2 hours to grocery shop? I send him with a list and he dissappears by himself for hours. Not fair. If I were to go I'd end up with both kids and would still be done in 30 minutes.

Yes! H seriously wanders all over. We can't shop together because it ends in big fights. I'm super efficient and he wanders from one side of the store to the other with zero plan.

Oh my gosh! Sorry, but this is really funny because that is totally what would happen to me. Enjoy the wine! And I hope you got some pictures of the stamp pad incident

This Saturday DH disappeared for hours on a shopping trip for a couple things while I was home with both kids. I later caught him reading a new book to the kids, and turns out he made a long stop at the used book store on his outing. At least when he called to say he did not realize how long he had been out he offered to stop and get something for dinner.

So out of sheer frustration yesterday I decided to cut DD's bangs that were all in her eyes. DH knew of this plan. Then literally 4 seconds (4 seconds!) after I cut her bangs way too short and totally uneven DH reminds me that picture day at daycare is on Tuesday Then today I got a call from daycare that DS gave himself a giant scratch across his face.

I sent him with a list in order of where things are in the store. Apparently that didn't make it easy enough. He better bring me something good if he didn't buy from the list.
Seriously, I have scared myself bad. I simply went to google what a biop.sy would be like. I found a post about baby getting one because of possibly rare disease. I then googled that rare disease. AAP case study of three month old with diape.r ras.h that won't go away with and exact body/head ras.h pattern. Another symptom is not gaining enough. It can affect organs. This is why you don't google shit...
My s has to get an ultrasound of his head and next an mri. I googled the types of hemorrhages he has/had. It was a very bad choice.
