He doesn't have an obstruction, my ped isn't concerned even
though I told her he hasn't had any formula, he acts healthy, comfortable,
and happy, has never been fussy or cried excessively. I eat the same vegan
diet and am taking the same prenatal vitamin, B-complex supplement, and iron
supplement, that I took through the whole pregnancy and first few days
postpartum when he was stooling normally. No complications at all postpartum
(and removed the IV about 15 min after birth, yeaaah!). Taking stool
softener, ibuprofen and tylenol once or twice a day.
Dear Friends:
This baby seems to represent one end of the bell curve.
I worked with one baby like this. He cleared his meconium by day 4, and
then pooped once a week on his own for the next 5-6 months. (It was always on
a Thursday!). He gained an average of 3/4 oz/day.
He smiled, woke up to ask to eat, woke up to look around, peed and
farted.................."healthy, comfortable, and happy." And pooped on
Thursdays. I met him when he was 2 or 3, and he was a lovely boy.
Babies never pretend to be fine to make their mothers feel better. If
something is wrong with them, they show it. A baby that acts fine and is
gaining weight is a fine baby.
Great birth story also! Congratulations.
warmly,
