SOS re supply and horrible poos! My nervous wreck of a friend has a daughter who has recently (almost 3 weeks ago) birthed a beautiful baby girl; but problems have arisen and she had to be admitted to the local hospital to have I/V antibiotics for mastitis and a cracked nipple that has not healed. The baby lost some weight in the first two weeks (110/3030); regained the 110 gms and has now again lost the weight. Is receiving 3 hourly EBM (4th hourly requirement is 70 mls) - Mum's supply is down but baby's output is fine - wet nappy at every feed - she is alert, active and responsive. The neonatoligist is ordering 70 mls 3rd hourly ie the fourth hourly requirement every 3 hours - hmmmm; however though poos are yellow mustard seed and that's OK, every now anfd then and mostly at night she has a very mucousy yellow poo that we don't understand - could be the antibiotics but ??? Mum has a history of polycystic ovaries. My suggestion to my friend is to relax and go and see a good movie; but grateful if anyone has sugestions re how to increase mum's supply and ideas about these horrible poos would be appreciated.
