Hi all, I'm new here
My 7 week old is EBF and mucus started showing up in his diaper 6 days ago. Every poopy diaper since then has been very mucusy. He has been fussy and pulling off the breast lately too, although could this be related to a growth spurt? I took him to the pedi 2 days ago and they tested for blood, which was negative. He mentioned milk protein allergy and bacterial infection and to call back if it persists until tomorrow. He also mentioned formula and I expressed to him that I am very adamant about BFing. He lost a pound of his birthweight the first 5 days and we have come so far with BFing. He is now 11.5 pounds. Does anyone have any experience, insight? I'm really worried.TIA.
ps. I am lactose intolerant as well as DS grandfather. Also, does the mucus cause malabsorption? Oh, and I was on fenugreek but stopped about a week and a half ago. I also eat oatmeal everyday and eat almonds pretty regularly.
