Anyone have any teething diarrhea tips? E is having 1-3 loose stools a day (starting yesterday). It was nice while it lasted not having blow outs everyday. Her first teeth keep playing peek a boo with her gums.

Does she like bananas and cheese?
Yes mam' I have tried constipating foods and gave her some yogurt so hopefully she regulates.
The only advice I have is to catch them right away and to use diaper cream as a precaution. Both my girls were this way during most teeth coming in
That's what I was afraid of. Daycare will send her home if she goes 2 times or more....
Holy Crap, really!!!! I would never have daycaare then. During the week Eliza does all her poops while I'm at work, so she's getting at least 2 a day and more when she's teething. Sorry lady.

Diahrea poop I should clarify. She hasn't gone since this am so I am hoping it is done. Normal breast milk or baby poop they can have as much as they like .
bantyrooster - Kayleigh always had diarrhea poops when she was teething. It usually lasted a few days. There was nothing we could do for it either unfortunately. Like bliz1712 said, just make sure you're putting plenty of cream/vaseline on to protect her skin. It always caused her to get diaper rashes.
Essentially, Andrew is about 3 months behind other kids his age. I've brought up his delays to his pediatrician and she is not concerned. She said he has several strikes against him and he will eventually catch up. His strikes: 1) He's a boy and boys develop slower (so we can't compare him to Kayleigh). 2) He's a second child and they develop slower. You have less time to spend with them since your attention is divided plus he has a sister that tends to do things for him. 3) He was in the brace 24/7 for the first 6 months of life, plus currently wears the brace for 12 hours overnight, so he is having trouble developing those gross motor skills. The kid is nowhere close to moving at all. I mean, he can barely roll still (only front to back).
I hate going to his doctor appointments because when they ask his milestone questions, I feel like an idiot since he isn't doing the majority of them. He at least meets his social milestones. It sucks because I sometimes really feel like I failed him. I also hate constantly worrying. Why can't kids be easier?!?!
roo1582 I'm sure that is very hard but remember that you are an awesome mom and he is an awesome kid even if he is behind the rest of his life. He will catch up and the doctor is right, it was a rough start. You are doing everything for him and he will know that he is loved.
Awe, roo1582, your doc is right, you can't compare him equally to other children his age at this point. He's still playing catch up, but you never know when he might just turn a corner and surprise you. You have certainly not failed him, you did everything he needed early on. You fed him, clothed him, and got him the braces and the special help he needed to correct his legs. You did everything right.
If you're truly concerned about his gross motor skills, you could always ask your doctor if s/he thinks Occupational Therapy would help him. If you feel he's that far behind, he could benefit from habilitation therapy (not re-hab since he never learned in the first place) to help him learn to do the rolling, crawling, and other things.

All this. Big hugs to you, Roo. Girl, you are an awesome mama!
Thanks Laides Seriously, these kids make me second guess every little thing sometimes. It's so hard to see your kid behind and struggling and having all these "what-if" thoughts. Although when they finally hit some milestone, it really does make it that much sweeter.
Also, I'm pretty sure we are setting Andrew up for some sleep issues. The kid still can't go to sleep on his own (rarely happens). He also needs someone to stand by his crib if he wakes up in order to fall back asleep. After his night bottle, I still rock and snuggle him until he's asleep because, well, he's my last and I'm never going to get those snuggles back again.

Emmett never was able to put himself to sleep until a few months ago. It will happen at some point. Any habits that you make now are not going to follow him to college. For us, we needed to wait until he could understand better what was happening. We also had to go very gradually, with small changes every few nights. Crying it out did not work for us. It is really hard when you think you are causing life long bad habits. But we are at a much better place now that he is older and can understand better.

Eliza was like this until about 11 or 12 months. There are still some nights where it's more difficult, but now I can cuddle her a little above her crib, lay her in her crib, and leave and she more often than not will go to sleep shortly after with little fussing. We had some really rough sleeping up until about 10 months and exactly what you describe. Nursing or bottle to sleep. To the point that MOTN I was using a bottle because it was just easier to get her to sleep and transfer her than to attempt to put her down awake.
Man I have done an excellent job raising my kids so far...
I'm pretty sure its not you. It sounds like you have tried every single trick known to man.
I have...and that's the other part of the issue. I know he's strong willed and some kids "are just like this" but then it makes me question if something isn't right with him or if he is being just a three year old. If he was being just a three year old then how come he's one of the few that is still having these issues...so is it him? Or is it us? And if it's him...is there something bigger that we should be addressing? What's normal? If it's us...how in the hell do I fix it? I've tried everything.
I'm not asking any of you to actually answer these questions, I am just explaining my constant thought process when it comes to Henry.
Hugs laurski81. I know its incredibly frustrating. I know first hand you're a great mom. I understand the constant worry since it sounds very similar to what I'm doing with Andrew.

So Freya is a week old today & we still haven't given her a bath (though she definitely needs one tomorrow). Her skin is kind of starting to peel/flake - normal? I don't remember....

Yep totally normal. Doc said you could put as much lotion as you wanted but it wouldn't help. William still has dry skin at 6 weeks

So Freya has started spitting up - not after every feed but when she does spit up it seems to be a lot. I'm pretty sure I have an overactive let down in my right boob that's causing her to overeat or swallow too much air. I've been trying to keep her upright but the spit up usually happens 20-30 min after she eats, not right away. And this morning one spit up was yellowish in color. The yellow worried me - anyone have experience with that? The spit up doesn't seem to bother her (she did it after her 2:30 feed & slept through me taking her wet clothes off) but I don't remember Dagny spitting up anything but white.

britbratjf No advice but Margaret is doing the exact same thing. It does slowly seem to be getting better as my milk is regulating a little bit. How yellow was it? Sometimes my milk is more of a dingy white than a bright white so maybe it's just a milk thing?

britbratjf my milk was really yellow at some points, and a little green at others. If Tyler spit up during those times, it was always tinted the color of my milk.
britbratjf, Sometimes when it's partially digested it changes to a more yellow color too. (Kinda gross ahead) When J was in the hospital and had the NG tube they would periodically check the placement of the tube by checking stomach contents, sucking it out with a syringe. Sometimes it was more yellow and other times more white still. They never seemed concerned.
Joey and Emme were both spitters - Emmeline had bad, bad reflux. J was a "happy spitter" it never seemed to phase her, and she didn't grow out of it until she was older, like 9-10 months. But she did eventually grow out of it. We just had a lot of bibs, burp cloths, and changes of clothes on hand!
