I go to a Russian parenting board and try to provide reliable information
about breastfeeding. Here is a very common scenario to an unusual stool
colour that a child has. "My breasfed baby has green watery stools" "Oh,
your baby probabl has disbacteriosis. You have to go have some tests
done". I have been struggling for a year to understand what it is, who set
the standards for acceptable limits of bacteria in brestfed baby's
stomach. The usual treatment is populating the stomach with bifidus,
sometimes a swich to formula. The most recent case I heard was that a
mother gave her child an infection of steptococcus aurelis. The child
doesn't have any symtoms. I understand the baby was getting pumped milk.
Is it possible?
My questions are: Do American diagnose something like this? If so, how
common is the lack or overgrowth of pathologic bacteria in breastfed
babies? How often is any treatment is required?
Another statement I read was that some St-Petersburg research institite
makes some sort of drug using colostrum. According to them, every forth
woman's colostrum doesn't have IgA. Is it possible?
Sorry, if the questions are stupid. I have tried talking to other people,
looked on the Net, but haven't found any explanations.
