Loose stools in nursing toddler, mama is pregnant. Colostrum?

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
My DD keeps having frequent, loose stools. It's been going on for a couple of weeks. At first I thought it was a tummy bug, but she has no other symptoms, and it hasn't gotten any better. I've been giving her probiotics several times a day without it making much difference.

I'm 19w pregnant, and I'm wondering if maybe it's colostrum causing the loose stools? I don't honestly know if I'm producing milk or colostrum--haven't expressed anything to see what it looks like. DD says there's still milk, but who knows what that means.

Her poor little bum is so sore looking--I just don't know what to do. Any advice?

My ds didn't experience that but every child is different. I would do baking soda in her baths to help her sore bum.

I know that around here there has been a stomach bug that is just loose stools with no other symptoms (my family has been suffering from it for over a month). Not every stool is loose but most are.

I hope it resolves soon!

we haven't had any issues yet. but I know what I'm producing is somewhere between regular toddler milk and colostrum (still a decent amount and almost regular color, more of a cream color than it used to be, but not sweet most days). but every mama and every kid is different.
