seems baby was seen recently by ped so tummy was palpated and soft (?)
with good bowel sounds (?)... "abundant" urine should be pale yellow, ...seems
baby is 'happy' so no signs of discomfort (?) ...suggestion: have mom
include in her diet 3 dark green veggies a day (ie; green peas, spinach, kale)
and a couple of prunes, ...show mom how to do gentle baby sit-ups and tummy
massage before and between feedings. If no results or still worrisome for
mom, can go back to ped for ped or nurse there to check tummy and consider
some very gentle rectal stim.
