ok Callum is now gaining weight, but still has green, greasy stools, why??

[sparklygothkat]

Callum is now gaining about 10oz a week, so must be getting enough milk but is having very large green, greasy stools, about 4 times a day. I know this isn't normal.

Marrvellous

Havng had a tiny one with feeding "issues" myself I am very, very, very happy for you x

Oh dear, can't spell marvellous.

I will just be glad to be able to stop the last bottle.. was 2 bottles of formula and 1 of EBM. I might drop the formula soon and just replace it with EBM, and see what happens.

Worth a try!

100ml isnt actually that much is it? about 4 oz???

[sparklygothkat]

100mls is about 3 1/2oz. not a lot at all.

Go with your instinct SGK.

I wish I had done with my LO, but fisrt time mum and all that you believe all the crap they tell you, dont you? (well, I did )

3.5 oz doesnt seem much to me...I am not sure that amount will affect his weight gain significantly - could it make him take more bf even if he is not being topped up???

[becaroo]

...also, I think the green poo will definately stop once the formula is discontinued.
