I have mom's permission to pose this question to you
all. Have a baby, 37 weeker, now 3 weeks old.  Mom has
been nursing and has supplimented from time to time.
Over the weekend, baby was constipated and fussy and mom
assumed it was her diet.  They are Chinese and
grandfather has been cooking for them.  All the
traditional dishes, no MSG.  Mom stopped nursing for two
days (pumped and dumped) and gave formula.  Baby stooled
3-4 times a day.  Mom has started back to nursing this
am so we have yet to see what the effect will be on
stooling.  She made Grandfather cut down on the spices.
I talked to mom about making sure that baby nurses long
enough on breast to get to the fatter milk.  Our
question is, does anyone out there know of anything in
traditional Chinese cooking that could be the culprit.
Mom is convinced that it is something that she is eating.

Thanks
