Hi everyone my baby is 6 weeks old and on Kendamil Organic.
Does this poop look normal?
Her symptoms are: pooping after every feed
Mucus in poop
Fussy and squirmy on the bottle
Stiff body particularly through night/colic symptoms late afternoon endless crying
Won't sleep through day unless in the sling or lots of crying in arms
Spit up frequently unless held upright
Sounds congested every day, not runny nose but very stuffy and occasionally wheezing sounds

Obviously I will go to my GP but just wanted your thoughts. Many thanks

I was thinking maybe normal until you said about the wheezing and congestion

Yes it's weird. I have a 3 year old and wondered if he's passed on a cold but we've been having this congestion for 5 weeks or so now.

Newborn sniffles is normal but that’s mild and comes and goes

My son was very congested from birth, he also had a very swollen face with bruising from the delivery. It took until 12 weeks post birth for it all to resolve. He had two black eyes and until 6 weeks.
