My nearly 6-week-old occasionally pulls off the breast shrieking as if she's in a horror movie. It only happens maybe once a day, if that. Her poops are also somewhat greenish brown and slimy. She's gaining weight really well. She's fussy sometimes, happy sometimes. What do you think? Is something wrong or is this normal?
The back story:
A few weeks ago we started block feeding because oversupply seemed to be a problem. She never drained a breast, the let-down spray was making her gag and cough and fuss, she was vomiting what seemed like a whole feeding once or twice a day, plus she was pulling off the breast crying. Now I'm much less engorged, leaking somewhat less and most of her issues are gone. Most.
Also, I've been avoiding a bunch of foods because I thought they were making her gassy and uncomfortable. It's driving me NUTS!!! There's almost nothing I can eat!!! But every time she has a particularly fussy day it seems I've just had a bunch of orange juice after avoiding citrus or just drank more milk than usual or something.
So how do you know? Could there be a food sensitivity? Could this just be lingering symptoms of oversupply issues? Or is there really nothing wrong and I should go pour a big glass of milk?







on the huge glass of milk. I
soymilk, but DD's tummy doesn't seem to!
