yes it sounds like ihe may not be getting enough of the hind milk.. he is very good at drinking for about 10 min and then he starts fussing and wont drink anymore..i persevere but its not easy.

I have made an appointment to see plunket clinic on Thur am so hope they can help.

ps hes growing and gaining weight so im not too stressed at this stage

thanks for your support and suggestions]]> Sun, 04 Oct 2009 18:05:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29146&PID=795603&title=soiling#795603 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29146&PID=795464&title=soiling#795464 Author: mummyofprinces

You will know if its diarrhoea, it smells If the smell has gone foul than id show your plunket nurse or GP. Otherwise green poo's can be ok, fluro green though doesnt sound quite right..

It might be a case of not getting enough of the fatty hind milk...Jake went through a phase of this when my supply settled and he had to work a little harder to get it. He would take the letdown for the foremilk but wouldnt work to bring down the hind milk. Ask your Plunket nurse to show you how to do breast compression while you are feeding to help that milk come down. (if you dont already know )

Jake was doing a poop with EVERY feed at 8 weeks!!!! He was a poop machine ]]> Sun, 04 Oct 2009 13:20:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29146&PID=795464&title=soiling#795464 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29146&PID=795388&title=soiling#795388 Author: Gardengirl

My wee boy is coming up 6 weeks and we are exclusively BF on the same sort of schedule as you.

He poos anything from once a day to maybe 4 times a day. They did go greenish for a day or two and I asked the MW about it, mainly because as well as the colour change it wasn't looking 'seedy'. She said it sounded like he was getting mostly the foremilk. I make sure that if he feeds for a short time, the next time I pop him on the same side and his poos have gone back to yellowy and seedy looking, so I know he's getting the fatty milk. Mind you, he's growing at a rate of knots, so I doubt he was missing out on much before.

He has wet nappies at every feed and sometimes in between too. He doesn't like sitting in a wet nappy so always lets us know.

It doesn't sound like diarreah to me, not frequent enough, just normal BF baby poo.]]> Sun, 04 Oct 2009 10:59:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29146&PID=795388&title=soiling#795388 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29146&PID=795312&title=soiling#795312 Author: Joscia

Yeah, that sounds about right!

My MW told me that green poo is normal for BF babies. DS sometimes does green ones, but I figure if he seems content and happy I don't need to worry about it...

It doesn't sound like diarrhea if it's only 4 x a day. The consistency of BF poo does look a bit like it though... ]]> Sun, 04 Oct 2009 09:49:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29146&PID=795312&title=soiling#795312 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29146&PID=795208&title=soiling#795208 Author: lovingmummyhood

Hi,
DS goes several times a day. He is 3 and half months old so I'm still learning myself Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong though...
Your baby's poo should not be green. Maybe he is getting too much foremilk?? Does he seem to have a sore tummy at all? ]]> Sat, 03 Oct 2009 22:02:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29146&PID=795208&title=soiling#795208 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29146&PID=795192&title=soiling#795192 Author: monikah

DS is once every day but he is FF. i have a few friends from antenatal who say that they get explosive poos several times a day so i guess its probably pretty normal for some babies]]> Sat, 03 Oct 2009 21:51:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29146&PID=795192&title=soiling#795192 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29146&PID=795164&title=soiling#795164 Author: bun_in_the_oven
