Hello! I have a 7 month old who has been lazy EC-ing since 3 months old. He consistently pees in the potty after he wakes up from sleep, after the car seat, stroller, etc. He used to only poop while breastfeeding so it was easy for me to catch his wriggling cues or gas cues and take him to the toilet, and we caught 90% of poops this way. The last month or so his digestion has changed and now he goes in his diaper while rolling around on the floor. He signals by whining when he’s gone but it’s nearly impossible to catch it beforehand! Also we often give him the toilet just before, but he doesn’t go and then minutes later poops in his diaper. Any suggestions??

Hello! I am 7 months postpartum today and for the last week I’ve been breaking out in hives in various parts of my body every night (and sometimes during the day). It began when I’d be bracing for my baby to wake up at 10 or 11pm, crying hysterically for a feed. It ranges from limbs to belly to chest to neck to face - every day something different. It’s unrelated to what I’m eating, as far as I can tell. The nightly pattern points to stress induced hives which I’ve been reading about in postpartum women. I took baby Benadryl one night because it’s all we had at home but am considering taking a daily antihistamine to calm my system. I also read this could last weeks. My doctors haven’t said anything useful - I don’t think they believe it’s related to postpartum hormones, but I know my body and I certainly have been under a tremendous amount of stress on top of lack of sleep and interrupted circadian rhythm. Anyone experienced this?? Any tips?
