any post partum mommiess??

Post partum vs prrgnancy dreams are the worst hands down. Idk if its a combination of post partum depression and stress but i dont like it. Anyways how are my post partum mommas?!! Me and JJ are doing fantasic. Been strictly breastfeeding today he drank from his first bottle. Hes like clockwork wakes me up at 12am 3am and 6am. My only complaint is gas and pooing problems ehhhhh. If anyone has any NATURAL remedies please let me know. I already tried gas drops the only ones that have worked are the ones my friend has bought me from mexico lol.

Your baby is strictly on liquids and since his body is absorbing all of the nutrients from it it perfectly fine for the baby to go 6-7 days with out a bowel movement and if they seem uncomfortable massage they're tummy it gives the bowel the sensation to go and the gas could be what your eating and it may not be gassy to you but most veggies and acids will give they baby bad gas

I'm not taking any pills so I think it's just lack of deep sleep and hormones. And yes I'm breastfeeding, I swear I could have been a wet nurse back in the twentieth century. My breasts literally pour out onto the floor randomly throughout the day :| my doctor said I don't even need to use my pump, I can just squeeze into a bottle lol

I give my daughter the probiotic mixed in her bottle 2 times a day. Once in the morning and in the afternoon.  It's really good for their digestive systems.  It's half a teaspoon at each meal :) It's really been helping my daughter.

Baby boy is 18 days old today! I hear ya about the dreams... I think some of them are worse than the pregnancy dreams. They feel so real... I had one that made me feel off for a few days because I just couldn't shake it :( so far no gas or poo problems, both are frequent but he doesn't seem bothered. That's an awesome schedule! I hope my little Oakley gets on one like that soon! Congratulations :) good to hear you and the little one are doing so well!

My daughter will be 3 months on July 7. Time flies. My daughter has such horrible gas pains but they've gotten so much better.  So I buy the little remedies gas drops at walmart and give them to her before she eats.  That seems to help. Also, if you're gonna bottle feed, feed your little man in a sitting position.  Also, burp after every ounce of food.
My daughter would get gas pains a few times a week that would last for  HOURS at a time... now since I've been doing all this,  she hasn't had gas pains in 3 weeks!
Also, what I learned,  is that babies digestive systems aren't fully developed until around 9 weeks.  
Ooooh also bouncing while holding her seems to help get the gas out quicker.
my daughter goes to sleep at 9 pm and wakes up at 4. She's been doing that since 6 weeks old :)
Oh and for pooping issues...i don't know if you have a sprouts farmers market store by you...but they sell this probiotic powder for children that you can add into babies bottle. My girl poops everyday lol.
