Question

I changed the formula on my 3month old from enfamil infant to enfamil a.R he passes stools 5 times a day now: yellow thicker w/ mucus is that normal?

Answer 1

STOP being: a STOOL WATCHER!!!!! MANY substances pass into the stool unchanged (eg nuts , corn, etc) and mucous is a NORMAL part of stool (excreted by an irritated colon) "Floating " is due to FAT ingestion! So COME ON NOW!!!! STOP WATCHING and if you CAN'T discuss this with your Primary Care Provider (PCP) Hope this helps! Dr Z

Answer 2

Call Your Doctor: A child with blood in the stool should always be examined. Some common causes include food allergies, constipation and infection. Bring the diaper to your office visit. Your doctor may want to test the stool for infection.

Answer 3

Anus has fissures?: In a healthy young baby, anal fissures (little cracks in the skin of the anus) can happen after a forceful pooping (poop need not be firm), or after passing a firm poop. When a fissure happens, there may be streaks or spots of blood on the poop. Because young babies poop often, a fissure may take a while to heal up. The parent should talk with a doctor if blood is seen on the poop day after day.

Answer 4

Don't know.: Your pediatrician would be the right person to explore the cause.

Answer 5

Varies: Breastfed babies can poop after every feeding, with every feeding, once a day, every other day, and "all the time." as long as its soft and they are feeding well and gaining weight, this is all normal.

Answer 6

3 - 4: A young breastfed baby usually poops after every feeding or after every-other feeding (averaging 3-4 poops a day). As the weeks go by, babies tend to poop less often, some twice a day while others once every-other day. As long as a baby is normal in eating, growth, and development; and does not have constipation, bloating, or tummy aches; then the number of poops per day is not very important.

Answer 7

Yes: In a perfect world, pregnant women should sleep on their left sides. This allow the uterus and baby to roll off the blood vessels and allow greater blood return to the heart and subsequently to the baby. In most people, without severe anemia, it doesn't make as much difference if you sleep on your right, left or even back. I do tell back sleepers to try to lay on a pillow under one hip.

Answer 8

Second trimester: Normally the uterus isn't very big in the first trimester. Towards half way in the pregnancy, it becomes hard to sleep on your back because the belly is getting big and heavy. There is no magic rule, but many women are more comfortable at the end if the second trimester sleeping on their side. But there is also no requirement to sleep any differently either. Just sleep how it's comfortable.

Answer 9

Yes: Melasma is the name for the dark splotches than can appear on the face. Stretch marks come from tension on the skin. Acne is common from all the hormone changes. The dark line down the middle of the abdomen is called the linea nigra. The nipples and labia often darken in color. Freckles often become darker as well.

Answer 10

Yes: Common concerns are increased pigmentation of the face (e.g. Along cheek bones and upper lip, often referred to as the mask of pregnancy) and abdominal stretch marks. Generally increased blood flow may cause a noticeable blush over the cheeks referred to as the pregnancy glow. Acne may become more problematic during pregnancy and spider veins may also develop.

Answer 11

Several: Melasma, stretch marks, worsening acne, puppps are some of the more common skin changes associated with pregnancy.

Answer 12

Several: Pregnancy is a special time but it can change many things in your body and some of them may show up in your skin. There is increased oil production during pregancy & that can cause acne. Also you may develop increased pigmentation known as melasma. Some skin lesions may grow & should be checked. You should enjoy your pregnancy but rest assured that all these things can be treated later.

Answer 13

Core strengthening: Core strengthening advocated by pilates and yoga regimens is excellent. Using an external binder to help, reposition the rectus muscles in the early post-partum may also be beneficial.
