my son is almost 3 weeks and is eating
about every 3-4 hours, between 2 and 4
ounces (usually about 3). That is fine,
but what we are getting used to are the
number of stools that he is passing per
day. It can sometimes be during every
feeding! That's 6-7 stools per day!
Usually it is a "mini-stool", but 2-3
times a day you get the "real deal". This
started almost overnight about 8 days ago;
previous to that he was passing one stool
- if that - a day. Any experience with
this?
in the hospital they started him on
similac advance for two days then moved
him to isomil due to him spitting up and
not feeding well; and, he has been on that
since. I know the soy is lighter and
passes more quickly, can we expect these
bowel schedules to resume until we move on
to more substantial supplements?
on a side note, this was causing some
serious irritation of his backside (a
previous post of mine) and some
modifications in the way we change and
clean him have alleviated this problem
(thank you for the responses we
received!).
