>Dear Folks:
> I did an informal study on stooling during the first week of life in the
>exclusively breastfed infant. The literature search revealed that there was
no
>information, except stooling frequencies for bottle fed babies, or babies
>breastfed in the style of the 40s and 50s, where babies were routinely
given
>water, orange juice, and oleum percomorphum (a fish oil derivative).
> I followed 20 exclusively breastfeeding women from the day of the baby's
>birth up to day 8 with a daily telephone call to ask about breastfeeding
and
>about infant stooling. I also looked to see if there was any relationship
>between stooling frequency and weight gain. There wasn't. There was no
pattern
>that emerged except that all babies had stooled by the 2nd day postpartum.
All
>babies thrived.
> I personally don't like to take the average of all the bowel
movements and
>give that to the mother because "average" isn't really helpful. If her baby
>stools less, she worries. And if her baby stools more, she worries. It is
more
>helpful to teach a mom about what a healthy baby acts like: that it starts
>smiling in the first week of life, and wakes up to feed and also wakes up
to
>look around. Baby also pees and either stools or passes gas. Baby feeds at
>least 6 times per day (which number I have seen in NMAA literature as the
>bottom line) and probably more, and needs to be with her all the time,
almost
>like she is still pregnant.
> There is presently another, more formal study going on in Philadelphia
>about stooling, that is finding the same things as I have reported here.
> The baby is more than the sum of its feeding frequency and number of
>diapers. Warmly, Nikki Lee
