I did a search of the archives for this answer, but did not find it. A baby, 11 lb 1 oz at birth was brought to our unit by the parents for breast feeding help 2 times after discharge . Nursed well and frequently from birth (C/S), but was not satisfied, and was given ABM supps in hospital. Then from day 4 (discharge)until 2 weeks, exclusive breast milk. Babe nursing well, and had begun to gain. But, on day 7, Mom developed thrush, Rx with Canestan cream, also doctor thought mastitis, Rx with Cloxicillin. Then, telephone follow-ups (2) and doctor visits (1) were reassuring. At 2 weeks of age, babe quite suddenly developed green, mucousy, bloody stools and had lost 11 oz since last visit to our unit (4 days), after beginning to gain normally. Babe was hospitalized x 3 days, OK now, gaining and thriving. Mom has cut dairy from her diet, but also no more Cloxicillin and reports that babe "much better". My question:If the formula was the cause of the green, mucousy, bloody stools, how long would it take to manifest itself.? If it was diarrhea from the Cloxicillin, how long would it have taken to develop?
