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...

Help! My Baby Cries All the Time.

My 3 mo. Old little boy cries the majority of the day. In the mornings he is happy and content to lay on the floor and play.

One night when she was about 10 1/2 months I was putting her to bed and she wasn't acting tired (she's never had a set bedtime because she naps at all different times during the day). She got a little...

Father Having Hard Time Accepting Changes from New Baby

I'm the dad, not the mom. I've posted questions before somewhat related to this but wanted to get some fresh perspectives... We just had our third baby boy 2+ months ago. He was a planned birth but didn't arrive until 7 years after his next oldest brother (his oldest brother is 10). After a M/C 3-4 years ago, we decided that we'd just give it a few more years to see if it happened naturally and were about to stop trying when she became pregnant. We were both pleasantly surprised. Since his birth, I've been having a hard time...
