Hi, I've been lurking for a long time and learning alot from reading everyones
questions and answers. Now I have the question. I am an IBCLC working in a
pediatrician's office. Today a woman called me about her 3 wk. old son. She
has been bfing without difficulty. Babe having lots of wet diapers and yellow
stools.  Now, as of yest. Babe very fussy, nursing q1-2hrs., only had 2 voids
and 1 dark green stool today. Mom states he acts like he is having gas pains.
States she has not changed her diet, can hear baby swallowing.  Mom is nervous
because her last child started doing the same thing at the same age.  Ended up
having bld. in stool caused by protein intolerance and was told to stop bfing
which she did.  'She would really like to continue bfing this one if at all
possible.  Have any of you heard of this and if it is protein intolerance,
does she need to stop bfing?  Looking forward to your answers.
Betty in very cold and snowy Maine...finally!!
