Mother's milk is best 🤌
Why compromise and make a decision you wouldn't otherwise make just to satisfy a doctor or midwife? That would only release stress for them. Mom would still be stressing about it if that wasn't what she wanted.

Momma obviously wants to do things the natural way given her attempt at home birth. I had a natural birth in hospital with my first and they were all annoyed with me for doing so because it was taking too long and kept pushing for things I didn't want. This is reminding me of that situation and I am wanting to go full mama bear for your daughter in law.

A couple poops and pees in the first 48 hours is great!! How bad is his jaundice? He went through a lot trying to get here.

Ugh. I know I said I would leave it, but I can't stop thinking about it. Has he had any poops at all? How many wet diapers? How many times has he latched?

Ah... Dang. I have no personal experience with that, but do know that the epidurals can cause lethargy in baby... I will leave it to others who know more. I would probably listen to midwife in that situation. Praying for all of you.

I was at a park with my dog and kids and another mom complimented my dog's behavior and our kids were getting along so I just straight up said, "I'm new here and I need friends. Can we be friends?" And it was one of the easiest friendships ever. Just say something!

"You can't be lean or healthy if you don't poop every day" and if you don't, then "there is something seriously wrong."
I'm not saying you're wrong, I am just wondering what you're basing it on. You said the whole thing about bacterial endotoxins being absorbed, which I understand, but at what point does that actually start to happen? From what I've learned over the years, not pooping every day can be totally normal and doesn't qualify as constipation.

You made a claim that I don't understand so I am curious to know what you are basing it on...?

2026-07-29 14:54:32 UTC

From what I understand, resorption is just water and electrolytes being absorbed back into your system leading to impaction. So would not the issue be a low water and/or electrolyte intake more than anything else caused by it sitting for longer than a day?

Watching my ~100lb puppy obey my 5 year old... It always amazes me when he could easily push my son around and do whatever the heck he wants. The most patient and gentle puppy I've ever raised. I don't know that I'll ever be convinced to bring home any other breed... I guess I should probably get through puppyhood before I can really make that decision though 😅

Heard the chickens freaking out yesterday afternoon and ran over to see what was going on. Momma was losing her mind and I didn't see anything around her. I was about to pull her away from the babies before she hurt them and then I saw it. Big snake decided to #FAFO
Thankfully, he wasn't able to get into the coop before I caught him and all the babies are accounted for 🙌
I apologize to my little dog that I've been accusing for sneaking into the other coop and stealing my eggs. It was probably the snake.
