Dark green poo is usually a sign of lactose intolerance...both my sons are lactose intolerant. Why don't you try a lactose-free milk and see how?

the cord blood is it? I went for the 21 year plan......

If baby is on full formula, then you must give her water after every feed, or else she will have constipation. Full fm babies should poo once a day. If you gently press your babies tummy and its hard, then she is probably having constipation. If tummy not hard then its not constipation. My first...

I had this problem with my first son also...he rejected milk when he was about 2.5 months. He drove the whole family nuts because he refused to drink milk. In the end I switched to rice cereal (mixed with milk) and porridge when he was 3 mths. He would still throw up the rice cereal purposely...

Oops sorry...the serum is Keratase Specifique...not L'oreal

My massage lady recommended fillling a milk bottle with hot water then using it to massage the lump. Massage towards the nipple. She said the hard bottle is more effective than a towel. I've tried it and it works in unblocking milk ducts quite quickly. If you try everything but the lump is still...

I used to drop alot of hair too!! I asked my hairstylist for help and she said that I had weak scalp. Its supposed to be very common after giving birth. She recommended a Redken shampoo to me and a serum by L'oreal...I used for about 2 weeks and can start to see less hairloss. The serum a bit...

Can buy citric acid from most supermarkets. Usually in the baking sections. Just mix a little bit with water and cover the metal part then use sponge to wipe off. After that rinse with water can already.
