DC3 is 4 weeks. Have previously fed a baby on an exclusion diet as he had various intolerances although my other DC had none at all, so I'm full of hope for this one!
However, her poos are greenish (yellow tinged with green), quite explosive and have small stringy bits of mucous (as well as the seedy curdy stuff). I really really don't want to quit dairy! Until I see any other symptoms, should I just carry on as I am? DC2 suffered reflux and lots and lots of screaming and pain with his CMPA and we're nowhere near that yet.
She is pretty windy and on occasion has spent the whole night grunting and straining in her sleep, but otherwise sleeps pretty well at night (4hrs then 3 then 2) with no screaming. During the day she is only happy being held or fed or asleep on someone, but again I think this is relatively normal 4th trimester behaviour? She can only manage 30 mins tops of happy awake time and the rest is spent trying to feed herself to sleep!
Also I should add I have very forceful let down and she coughs and splutters and gulps at the beginning of a feed. I know this can cause green poo and wind but not sure about the mucous. And also I was on antibiotics for week 2 which I suppose is when this started, but I stopped 10days ago so would have thought out of her system (and we are both taking pro biotics)
I guess what I'm asking is, is mucous in poo something that needs to be addressed if there are no other symptoms.
Thanks!
