DSs bled a bit after it came off. I did see dried blood before it fell off tho.
+1 Doc said seeing dried blood on the onesie from the stump/belly button or even some oozing was normal. He said the area still has drying up to do after the stump falls off.
I'm calling the ped just because I'm paranoid. She had a shit-splosion that got all over her stump a few days ago and we had to clean it. I knew blood after it falling off was normal but wasn't sure about before.
What time are you guys putting LO down for their "sleep"? Delilah will give us 4-5 hours for her first sleep stretch. I usually push it off until after 9 for selfish reasons (so it's close to when I'm heading to bed). The last few days she seems like she could benefit from swaddling earlier (around 8). Wondering if I should move it up.
I usually start the swaddling, feeding sleeping at 8:30 which gets her down around 9:15/9:30. To be honest I go to bed not much later

We start our bedtime routine around 8, and she's usually asleep around 9.

When we are doing our three hour eating schedule during the day his last structured feed is usually 9:30 so that puts him in bed by like 10:15. I think we may need to move it up too.

Definitely call to ease your mind but E's also bled a bit before falling off... for a day or two.

I was trying to do a 10:00ish feeding to stretch the night, but I'm finding that she gets up around 1 no matter when she gets to sleep. So she often feeds between 7 and 8, then we settle her. I'm usually exhausted but it gives me some time to read or watch TV as she settles. We've also been starting our days after she eats around 5ish.

Poop question for the BTDT moms. If you mostly breast feed and give the baby one formula bottle a day, how often should baby poop? With DD1 she was exclusively breast fed until 5 months old so I don't really know what to expect with DD2 since we give her formula at night.

Can i leave my sleeping baby in the house while I run downstairs and get my pump bag out of the car? I'm kicking myself for forgetting it but the taco bell bag was more important.

Your baby will be ok :-)
I put him in the crib and went quick. I didn't know if this would be worthy of a side-eye.
Aurelia suddenly developed a rash on her face...red splotches and a few bumps. Not sure what caused it and whatnot is. Doesn't look like baby acne...hmmm...

Is she warm? DS gets a heat rash on the side of his face next to my BF when they cuddle. Does it look like a heat rash?

Hmm that's a good thought. I've unwrapped her and I see a few scratches on her face but the splotches and bumps are gone on the exposed skin (I'm nursing so can't see the other side haha). Thank you!!!

If it's gone quick like that it's likely just heat. It happens when I nurse under a cover sometimes.
Did any of your LO's stump bleed a teensy bit before it fell off? I opened up A's swaddle and saw some dried blood on the blanket and some around her stump. Not actively bleeding though.
Ours, thwacked off early courtesy of our daughter learning how to use her arms, seeped nasty brown ooze for a week. The pediatrician put something on it to dry it out. I could not believe it wasn't infected.
I can sanitize soothers by boiling right ? I know this may seem like a silly Q but I just bought some new ones and it says to clean by warm water only :s

funhaven It might depend on what kind you have but we boil water in a kettle and then soak the Avent Soothies pacifiers for a few mins. Then to wash after we use soap/water and the medela bags to steam them.
N just had a tiny streak of blood in his poop diaper. Googled. Called the pediatrician and left a message for triage nurse and waiting for call back.
Any of you have any experience with this?
He's cluster fed a ton today and pooped at least 7 times. Quite a lot of straining too.
DD1 had blood that ended up being from milk and soy protein intolerance. A week or so before the blood her poops turned green and mucusy, like someone blew their nose in her diaper. When the blood showed up the pedi examined her for anal fissures and did a stool sample to rule out parasites. I think a small tear is the more common cause, especially if he's straining, but they'll probably want to see him to make sure that's all it is.

Is anyone having luck practicing putting baby down "drowsy but awake"? My baby is 4 weeks now and I want to try to instill some good sleep habits. She was a grump all day today bc she was tired and I had a heck of a time getting her to sleep. Finally bouncing on the ball and white noise did the trick. Is there a thread to talk about good sleep habits or is it just too early for this? I'm just a little anxious bc my first baby was a terrrrrrible sleeper and I want to be sure I don't teach this baby bad habits.

Aww..
Yeah we are going in at 8:30 to see his doctor. When that' happened did you just have to cut stuff out of your diet and the she was okay?
It could be in my head but the diaper after the blood looked to have mucus in it.

I've read and heard that you can't spoil or create bad habits with a baby under 12 weeks. Not sure how true it is since this is my first, but I'm just going on instincts and what she seems to need right now. I hope to form some sort of routines and sleep approaches in a few more weeks. I am currently reading the 90-minute sleep solution book that was strongly recommended to me by many friends and coworkers.

Mine has some baby acne, bit noticed it gets worse if she's nursing on one side. I think it's just heat rash because it does go away.
layloo08 yes and no. It takes 2-3 weeks for milk protein to get out of your system, so there's a bit of a delay. DD1 only had blood a few more times, but we spent the next 6 months trying to get rid of the mucus. She ended up having additional intolerances (beef and tree nuts) and was extremely sensitive to milk and soy. She reacted to hidden dairy (whey and casein) which is in practically everything. So we had a long period of trial and error. I'm glad you're able to get in so quickly, seeing blood in the diaper can be scary. Hopefully it's nothing!
