I've got some cooing at 5.5 weeks. Just started in the last couple of days.
On another note does anyone have advice about cutting the babies fingernails? I started to do them the other day and accidentally nicked his finger (he screamed but it didn't bleed ) and now I'm a little gun shy. Any one have tricks or tips?

I tried using a nail file and biting them off but I'm apparently not good at either of those methods. I use nail clippers and push her fingertip down and just snip the edge of the nail, then peel them the rest of the way off and it has been working for us so far.

I've done this and made him bleed. I wait until he's asleep so L can't fidget. I tried the nail file but L hates it and I have no patience for it. When in doubt, err on the side of caution when cutting.
Didn't we have a few babies with tongue tie on here? I'm starting to suspect that Emme has a mild case. She eats well and has gained weight great, but she does have reflux and is super colicky. The reason I've been wondering is because she's been starting to make a clicking noise when she nurses- not every time though. Also, when she cries, her tongue kinda makes a weird cup shape with the sides coming up higher.
Just wondering if all cases of tongue tie requirement treatment,or is it something that she could just grow out of?
So what pacifiers stay in baby's mouth? The Soothies are slipping out and J gets so pissed!
I just bought some MAM pacifiers because someone on here suggested them and A was having the same problem with not being able to keep the Soothie in her mouth. We have a winner for sure-she really seems to like them and can keep them in.
blakely24 I can't really tell from that pic. Does her tongue stick out all the way past her lips? Is there a notch in the end? E has a tie and her tongue is heart shaped at the tip.
ETA E also makes clicking noises when she nurses but not every time.
blakely24 have you seen an LC? I saw one last week and they thought they saw a mild tongue tie and referred us to an ENT. She tried to point it out to me but I didn't see it...so I'm not much help looking at a picture...sorry!

Thank you everyone for the ideas and recommendations. I'll think I'll try clipping them while he's sleeping or nursing and then proceed from there until we find something that works.
blakely24 Mine has one. The easiest way to tell for him is the tip of his tongue goes in on the middle of it. It is not interfering with him eating though so my pedi recommended not doing anything for now and waiting to see if it impacts talking later.

I saw an LC last week because the occasional clicking became all the time on one side. The LC felt it was baby's way of dealing with fast flow/OALD. It's definitely slowed down her feeds. I was told if it doesn't hurt and she's still gaining weight that it's ok. No tongue tie experience though.

So my child has always pooped multiple times a day. It's been over 36 hours now. I know it can be normal that BF babes start going less but it was so odd to have a poop free day yesterday! That combined with increased spitup again has me worried. I'll call the doc to check in if there's still nothing by afternoon, but any of you experience this sudden shift?

Not quite 36 hours but was going 4-6 times a day until 2 days ago. Then about 18-24 hours without. When it finally happened, it went through her onesie & her pants onto my mom's clothes bc she was holding her!
