They had her come in to assess for dehydration. She has a low-grade fever, and they suspect its all a mild reaction to the rotavirus vaccine that she got last week. Just having us a keep an eye on her temp. for now. Thanks everyone for all your help! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergy-or-fore-milk-hind-milk-issue#post-856408 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 19:17:36 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 856408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Silva: I used to pump for 2-3 minutes before feeding to eliminate my fore-milk issue. He got an even amount of fore/hind milk that way, I believe, because he burping and gassiness decreased tremendouly (to almost nothing). He had already been on a dairy-free diet since 4 weeks old, so I knew it wasn't that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergy-or-fore-milk-hind-milk-issue#post-856374 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 19:11:51 +0000 Silva 856374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: oh that would be awesome! Here's hoping </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergy-or-fore-milk-hind-milk-issue#post-856225 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 18:36:54 +0000 prettylizy 856225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Silva: I reintroduced soy at like 7ish months and she was fine. We've kept her off dairy to this point (14 months) just because we're so used to it now and I'm not in a rush to give her any. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergy-or-fore-milk-hind-milk-issue#post-856211 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 18:33:54 +0000 oliviaoblivia 856211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right around that time my lo had green mucousy poops. I did the same googling you are doing freaked out that if have to give up dairy and a few days later she was back to yellow poops.<br /> My ped says that unless she seems uncomfortable immediately after a feed that he doesn't recommend anything for green poop. Is give it a day or two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergy-or-fore-milk-hind-milk-issue#post-856202 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 18:30:09 +0000 pl0508 856202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Silva: also I second everything @prettylizy: said. Eventually we did eliminate dairy and soy (at 3 months) because all of a sudden he was reacting. He got better really really fast. At about 4.5 mo I just started to reintroduce soy and he is tolerating fine ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergy-or-fore-milk-hind-milk-issue#post-856189 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 18:28:20 +0000 Silva 856189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: did you try to reintroduce either? Both would suck but I imagine soy would be harder because it is in everything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergy-or-fore-milk-hind-milk-issue#post-856188 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 18:27:27 +0000 pl0508 856188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Silva: yes it does. When you block feed your body just learns to go longer between feeds to fill up and ensures your LO empties a side before switching!!! I have a major oversupply so I had lots of fore milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergy-or-fore-milk-hind-milk-issue#post-856174 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 18:21:53 +0000 prettylizy 856174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Silva: Well, I never really felt empty, and even when she was finished I could still hand express if I tried. I would say block feeding could help with that. </p> <p>As far as symptoms, yes, they got worse. She was so so so cranky and upsted all the time. And we got to the point where she would nurse for a second or two then pull off crying. She was also super congested. 3 days without dairy and soy and she was already MUCH better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergy-or-fore-milk-hind-milk-issue#post-856165 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 18:18:14 +0000 Silva 856165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coacheswife123: sorry, does milk imbalance=too much foremilk? I wonder if the drastic difference in production from my left/right boob could cause problems? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergy-or-fore-milk-hind-milk-issue#post-856159 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 18:16:38 +0000 pl0508 856159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We dealt with a milk Imbalance and block feeding fixed it for us. I would try that first and then if she is having issues that persist maybe cut dairy and see if that helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergy-or-fore-milk-hind-milk-issue#post-856154 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 18:15:52 +0000 Silva 856154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: newbie question.. Can you tell when you are fully empty?<br /> What other symptoms did your LO have? Did they continue to get wore? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergy-or-fore-milk-hind-milk-issue#post-856150 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 18:14:48 +0000 Silva 856150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: I've been trying to get her to eat longer on each side. My right boob produces so much more milk than the left though. She often falls asleep on the left, but if I switch sides she'll go for another 15 minutes. I worry she doesn't get enough from the left? Probably just being paranoid, I guess </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergy-or-fore-milk-hind-milk-issue#post-856148 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 18:14:27 +0000 prettylizy 856148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is exactly when my LO started showing signs of her dairy intolerance. I would try doing both the 'fully empty' and cutting dairy, then if you see an improvement, try re-adding dairy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergy-or-fore-milk-hind-milk-issue#post-856139 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 18:12:30 +0000 hilsy85 856139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would start by trying to get more hind milk into her since that's easier than eliminating dairy! Try to make sure se fully finishes one side before switching. You can also try great compressions while she nurses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergy-or-fore-milk-hind-milk-issue#post-856130 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 18:11:00 +0000 Silva 856130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since Tuesday (I think) my daughter 7.5 weeks, exclusively breastfed) has had bright green mucousy poops. I noticed some mucous in her poops last week but it wasn't happening all the time, and up until now they have been yellow/seedy.</p> <p>Some of her poops have been so wet that it just looks like green tinted pee on the diaper.</p> <p>She has always seemed to fart a lot, and lately I've noticed she is harder to burp. She has been a little fussier this week, often wakes up very fussy. But also has happy, calm moments. She has never been a great napper, but the past two days I've had to work really hard to get her to sleep at all. She has also had trouble falling asleep at night, which is new.</p> <p>After researching it seems like this is either too much foremilk or an allergy/sensitivity to something I'm eating. </p> <p>Did you experience anything like this?</p> <p> Should I talk to her dr or start by eliminating dairy? </p>
