The binary of baby

Is my baby eating? 0/1
Has my baby peed today? 0/1
Has my baby had a bowel movement (a BM!!)? 0/1
Is she crying more than normal? 0/1

As a parent, you're looking for 1110. These 4 bits of data is all your pediatrician cares about too.

My husband read an article saying that parents overstress about their babies' poo...well if you look at it this way, it's one of the 4 core communications that your baby is normal. So when your baby hasn't had a BM in 5 days, that tends to become the focus of all your attention whether you like it or not.
