This time 2 weeks ago my 5mo was beginning to sleep through. She had a week of going to bed at seven and waking between 3.30 and 5.30, feeding and then back to sleep til 7. It was bliss. Just before that I had replaced the 1 am feed with formula, and I wonder if this helped. She tended to poo once every 2 to 3 days.
Last week she had diarrhea, with mucusy green watery poos at least once per hour. A few nappies even had blood in them. Doc said it was rotovirus (v odd as she had been vaccinated). Apart from the dodgy poo she seemed absolutely fine.
A week on poo is still green and mucusy sometimes v dark green. She now is back to waking at 1am and 4am due to pooing. As I have to change her she is taking ages to settle again and I am having to bf feed her. So now getting no more than 2hrs sleep at a time. Have stopped formula and any solids for time being to see if that was causing the green poo.
So ? Is this pooing her new normal (green, mucusy, sometimes explosive every 3 to 4 hrs)? Anything I can do to reduce frequency? Do I need to go back to the doc?
So frustrating. Really thought we were getting there, now it feels v unobtainable again.
