Constipation in My 14 Week Old

HI, my 14 week old little boy has had a real difficult time with his digestion. Initially, we were dealing with him spitting up constantly and now he is going 3-5 days without a bowel movement. I have to admit that I am starting to get frustrated because I am breastfeeding and I feel like no matter what I eat it is bad for him. First I was avoiding gassy foods to decrease the spit up and now I need to avoid constipating foods. I feel like there is nothing that I can eat. I cut back on a lot of vegetables and salads because that was causing...

Severe Acid Reflux

Hello all, I was wondering if any of you have delt with acid reflux with any of your children. My sister had her son two months premature he has been suffering from this since he was born.

His doctor was going to put him through a surgery but has now decided to wait and see if he grows out of it. I'm hoping that you have some ideas for my sister to either calm the acid or have been in the situation and...

Baby's Poo Burned Her Bottom :(

My 15month old daughter had a poo that burned her bottom so badly there are even 2 small spots where the skin is a little broken from blistering. Has anyone experienced this?There were no new or acidic foods and she's not sick, I'm not sure what could have caused it. It happened late yesterday afternoon at daycare, and when I got her home to bathe her she couldn't even sit in the water and cried from pain, it was awful. I put lots of diaper cream for the night and this morning it was better, it also seemed to be healing throughout the day....

They are telling me that it has most...

Baby Food, Spit up and Laundry

Hi y'all, I'm sure someone has asked about this before, but I'm not finding the topic on the website. My baby started on solids about three weeks ago. So far, we've introduced rice cereal, carrots and sweet potatoes. Question 1) How much spitting up is "normal"? He always spat up a lot, but he seems to be doing it even more. The pediatrician said that wasn't cause for concern, but I'm wondering at what point it should become concerning. Question 2) How do you get those awful carrot-spit-up stains out of his clothes????? Question 3)...
