Hi,
My baby is 8 wks and is EBF (a feat in itself as I didn't manage to BF my other two children for long). For the last 2 and a half wks her poo has been very explosive and bright green, she seems to be constantly pooing.
She seems to feed very frequently and is not often settled after a feed during the day but is doing well at night.
She had issues at first with weight loss and I was told I wasn't feeding her enough (was feeding her all of the time) and since she has put on weight but it is slow and she is steadily dropping down on the charts.
I have been told to take her to the GP as they are querying lactose intolerance but to be honest it sounds more like lactose overload.
I have been trying to feed her from the same breast for a few feeds in a row, as was suggested, to make sure she is getting the hind milk. But it does not seem to have an effect (other than to make me sore and engorged on the otherside)
Any suggestions from anyone who has been through the same please?
