We went to a new doctor on Thursday and my luck the second I check in the fire alarm goes off. Yes- everyone in the building had to exit and wait outside in the cold as it was a real warning. Awesome! I told the nurse I would be in my car since I had a 4 week old and Claire and I waited for 30 minutes or so until we were called. The Dr said she looked great. She was 21 inches and weighed 9 pounds. They did not give her her immunizations as my previous Dr.'s office was going to do. This office said they don't give them anything until they are 2 months old. (not sure why or if that is normal) I asked him about changing her formula because since the day she was born she has had mucus in her stool and sometimes blood. When I have googled online I have found that this is normal for breastfed babies but nothing on babies with formula. I have decided to be semi-graphic on this post in order to solicit advice. So when I googled everything I found also mentioned green mucus - well hers is yellow the color of her stool. Her stool is also still very loose and with most formula babies it hardens by now. When she has a bowel movement it sounds like a jet engine it is so liquidy. Anyway- sorry for the details but again looking for advice. The Dr. said the mucus was not normal and the blood could be from torn fissures but he was not concerned yet and not to change formula since she is gaining weight and doesn't seem to be spitting up. I had brought in the diapers as my previous office would normally run tests on the stool and he didn't even want to see them. He said when I come back in 4 weeks if it is still an issue they would check it then. Is he too laid back? I mean- there is mucus in EVERY diaper with a bowel movement and there has been since we got home from the hospital 4 weeks ago. I need mom advice now. I found that with breastfed babies it could be a reaction to the dairy and most suggested to stop eating dairy. Do any of you think we should try changing formulas? I may try Similac Allimentum as it is for food allergies and colic (she does not have colic as she rarely cries)- however it could be a food allergy and this formula is pre diested and compared to Nutrimigen. (I don't have time to look up the spelling.) I hate to swich if there is no need as it is $10.00 a bottle and she already drinks a bottle a day. However- I don't want her to be suffering either. She dosn't seem to be in pan at al except a few times day when she is eating which could be her tummy. Please let me know your opinions. It just doesn't seem normal to me. Her old doctor even said that was not normal but to keep an eye on it. I may take her back there and see. Anyway- let me know your thoughts if you can. She is growing and her older brother can't wait for her to be big enough to play! He itches to hold her and move her arms to dance every day!
