Diarrhea Posted: 08-14-04 12:40pm
Lol! Not me! But danica.
I was worried bout the spittin up but she
seems fine now after a couple feedings and
hasnt spit up... But as I was lookin for
info on that, I stumbled across the topic
of newborns and diarrhea and I realized
that danica's had that for a couple days
now. Im pretty sure its diarrhea. Her
stools arent even stools at all, its just
watery (sorry tmi) but im gettin a lil
worried cuz she has about 6-7 "bowel
movements" a day and im not sure if her
stools are sposed to be hard or if they're
sposed to be watery like? Im
breastfeeding so I dontknow if that has
anything to do with it. I checked and she
doesnt have a fever... So im not sure???
Thanx girls... I know I ask a lot of
questins, im just a worrier lol!

Hey shauna,
I just asked my friend who has 3 kids all
under 5 and breastfed all of them. Her
moto is if there isnt blood it isnt a
tragedy lol.
She says dont be too concerned if there is
no fever and she isnt being sick. Plus
dont let her become dehydrated.
Remember mother knows best, dont be afraid
to ask your doctor.
Yea. It's alright huni. And yes, don't
be afraid to ask the doc! Mother knows
best, and knows when to worry

I keep reading that breastfed baby's
stools aren't realy stools - more of a
puddle, which apparently is good and helps
their digestive systems.
So the books say the formula fed baby has
harder stools and is more prone to
constipation.
Now i've not had mine yet and could be
wrong, but sounds to me like she is doing
great, but if you are worried give your
doc/midwife/mum/aunty a call and see what
they say - often best to see what others
did at same age.
But i'd guess at if she looks well, feeds
well, and puts on weight then you're
definately doing things right.
