nic, y should i not welcome?lol
we're all here to share and learn from each other

ijnek, sometimes too much complaining n grumbling annoy

sbux, did u try? it worked?

my boy has been a little cranky these days... wouldn't nap much... wants to play or b held... if i leave him alone to play by himself it'll only last abt 5mins... even if i put him on my lap while sitting on the floor n not looking at him, he'll start to kick n hit could it b the starbucks coffee i had last sun? another thing is since i've started bf he'll sweat when latch on... only stop sweating when he doze off...anyone?

Erm... I tried but dunno whether frequent pumping helps or not....

I've never experienced that before...maybe because he's working hard at suckling hence the sweat?

my mom says its normal for babies to sweat when drinking milk, either bottle or BF becos the suckling action takes a lot of work

phythia, qarezma, ya i was thinking the same... sometimes he breaks into cold sweat regardless latching on or not... scary le... btw if he feeds thru bottle lying down is it ok for him? won't the water flow into his lungs? his face is facing the ceiling...

hehehe..nickit..it's ok..just be watchful if he just gets choke because drinking from the bottle - the milk comes out faster than direct from our nipple.

Kit, may I know how often ur baby pass motion? My baby poo once every 5-7days. I am really worried la as hubby said wanna bring her see pediatric surgeon.

if u are fully BF your baby then i think its ok. As long as poo is not too hard and baby does not have a hard time poo-ing...

yups..that's true...most importantly is the colour and consistency of the poo. Fully bf baby'es poo is usually mustard colour with seedy consistency.

i'm not sure...but my babies poo like everyday...
5-7 days doesn't feel rite to me......

a guide on baby's poop. If you aren't sure..it's always good to go back to your doctor.

Hmm... I have never brought my baby to the paed. She got her annual weight check and jab from my BIl, who is a GP. My BIl is concern and ask her to go see the pediatric surgeon. I don't like the idea as I am afraid they may run all sort of test on her.

She is on fm 2 times a day and the rest are ebm.

Yes her poo are seedy and paste like. Once she poo every 5-7 days, it will big really 'big'!!

I think don't need to see a pediatric surgeon...just a normal pediatric should be fine first.

If she's behaving normal and not feeling uncomfortable..it should be ok. My son's poo schedule do change once a while. Since she's also on fm..have tried giving water?

How old is your baby?

sbux, dun worry... if ur baby is his/her usual self then u dun have to worry... my boy sometimes poo everyday sometimes 3 times a day sometimes big poo after a few days he dun any sign of uneasiness or anything... his record of not pooing goes up to 10+ days

phythia, i think her baby is abt 2-3 mo if i'm not mistaken...

Yes 2 1/2 months. We give her a lot of water throughout the day. She is still behaving normal and do not have any discomfort. She also let out a lot of gas.

sbux, then u dun have to worry

anyone experienced baby cold sweat when not latching/feeding? my boy will sweat n his legs n arms r cold when touched abt the time he was born every nite (he was born at nite)... any explanation??

hmmm..i've never encounter. Maybe you can just check is temperature if it's low? You can also bring it up with your doctor about this.

So I did an experiment to see how will she poop if she is on formula. Tis is her milk schedule.
7am: ebm
10am: ebm
1pm: fm
4pm: fm
7pm: ebm
9pm: fm
3am fm

She is taking 4oz each feed except the 9pm one cuz I feed her earlier so that she can sleep.

The good news is,she poo alternate day after following this schedule.
The bad news? Hubby ask me to keep to this schedule and store my ebm.

Plz advise.

What is the concern on the poop in relation with EBM?
