I have another poop question.
Dd's (9 mos) poops have been less mucousy lately, more like French's mustard (so, not seedy or curdly) most of the time. Now all of a sudden (the past two days) it is also clay like. And she seems to be in pain when she has a bm - strains, grunts, cries. The day before yesterday she didn't have a bm. Yesterday she had three dirty diapers! Today she had two. Each one seemed like it was the same amount of poop that she would normally have, but less wet, quite sticky. Yesterday it smelled like real poop, today like poop and a bit more like yogurt. There are a few things that might have influenced it. First I am eating no sugar (but still fruit and a serving of millet in the mornings). Then, she is eating more solids. With this I mean that she actually eats about one bite at a meal, literally, so I didn't think it would have made a difference. Also, it is veggies!????? And she still nurses just as much as always and even wants sips of water when I drink water. I gave her some probiotics (not bifidus infantis, maltodextrin filler no good and I have to order new ones) the past few days (I thought it is better than nothing) and she also had a few bites of my coconut yogurt. Oh, and she has been sucking oil (hemp and coconut mix) out of her bottle for her skin. And she also took a bite of aloe leaf while dh was putting some on her skin
So, was it any of these, or just coincidence? Or is it just the solids? She seems to be really in pain, how do I help her?
