I’ve seen very mixed things about it. I don’t want to hurt them obviously. But I do want them to keep...

    Adapting the Irish diet... question

    Hi all! Yesterday I noticed that my month-and-a-half old baby girl, Irish (RIR), was SUPER full and lethargic so I picked her up and started massaging her crop but it didn't help.
