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.
