I know for a fact that we are not the only parents who are going through this but omg, I don’t know how the others are handling it but I am not handling the fact that KR has not had a poo in a VERY long time very well!
Since her issue with cow’s milk particularly, I’ve been off dairy since I am still breastfeeding exclusively. But since her visit to the paed, she had only gone once and even then, there was still a slight streak of fresh blood but since then…she was just slightly brown, and this was today.
Keeping in mind that she is on solids now, I don’t think this is enough poo so I will definitely be letting the paed know about this. It’s funny how that since I’ve stop the dairy, her bleeding AND poo have both stopped. :/
*****************Updated later that same day :
Spoke to the paed and although I was not impressed that he rushed me off the phone when I had another question to ask him, he mainly told me that it was normal for breastfed babies to go without a poo for a long time. Now, as much as I fully understand this, there must be a limit to how many days before we start to worry but nup, he was quite insistent that it was ok. He even said that I should schedule a follow-up if I was concerned. Heck, of course I’m concerned but will give it a few more days. Till then, I’ll be taking her off the rice cereal and will be giving her more fruit and veggie purees.
