(x-posted in allergies) I feel sick to my stomach. DD is 9lb. She was 9lb. 6oz. last week. If I look at a month of weights she has only gained 10 oz. this past month. I have an inexpensive baby scale but its been pretty right on compared to the pedi's.
Here's whats happening: I have IGT and PCOS and had a low supply with DS, took herbs and supplements and this time had an oversupply (she was gasping and choking on my milk, green frothy poop, and it never finished) so we went to block feeding in 3 hour increments. It still seems to me like I have enough milk, she has plenty of wet and soiled diapers.
She has been sensitive to what I eat so I am off dairy (for a couple weeks but with a slip up this weekend), and just went off soy, gluten, peanuts. My chiro said we both have excess yeast so we are taking probiotics. She is still have very loose, sour smelling, green mucousy stool.
I'm going to call the pedi in about 10 min. when the office opens.
What could be causing this?

I'm assuming the 9# and 9#6oz were on the same scale? My last 2 had problems w/ weight gain, no weight loss though, b/c of allergies. It just really hindered their growth, both grew much better off bm than on and that was sad for me (though Evan did a lot better when I did the total elimination diet, but it was hard and he was 11 mos old by then and I was ready to be done). I do hope it's not your supply. Have you done before and after feeding weights w/ her to see how much she's taking in? Watch out for the probiotics, most are cultured on dairy so check and make sure.
Ilana was 9#13oz at 4 mos from the underfeeding.
