My DS has suddenly developed dark green slimy and quite runny poo, more frequent than usual and smelling oddly... vinegary. He's also got a rash on his skin that looks and feels just like heat rash - he did get overwarm yesterday on a car journey, so we assumed he'd got heat rash and cursed ourselves for bad parenting. Today the poo has got greener, and DS seems a little out of sorts - nothing specific, just a little grizzly. He's not got a temp or anything and is otherwise bright and alert. My DH has a nut allergy, so I avoided peanuts all through pregnancy. I've read so many conflicting things about peanuts when you're BF i didn't really know what to do for the best. I've started a new breakfast cereal which I have belatedly discovered has peanuts in (more cursing of self). Now I'm wondering if my poor LO has his father's nut allergy, and I have made him allergic? Does this sound like it might be the case, or am I being paranoid? We have appointment at baby clinic tomorrow for jabs so can ask doc then.
