Yes, now we have talked about everything...lol.
Anyway, Cory just called me to tell me Mickey is extremely fussy tonight and he was concerned and wanted my opinion but then his phone went dead so oh well. He did have time to tell me he would handle things.
What has me concerned is that yesterday she was here for about 4 hours or so and she was pretty cranky the whole time then too and she had 3 bm's during that time and all of them looked the same. They were the color of bright yellow mustard but had a little bit of what looked like mucus in what would be a more dark mustard color. No red color.
They have her on regular newborn enfamil so its a milk based formula which has me concerned. Everyone in my family has lactose issues. Cory had poop problems as a newborn and his looked like this and he couldnt keep anything in his tummy. The minute it went in, it came out the other end and it burned his butt. Her butt looked a bit red to me yesterday but she is very dark skinned. How red she is and how red it shows on dark skin is going to be something else.
I just dont remember any of my other baby's having this yellow color this far out...she is one month. Just Cory. Plus the having so many bm's in that many hours seems to be telling. Or I may just be reading something into her being Cory's child. I do know I dont know why a Dr wouldnt put a child on a soy based formula to start with when he is told that the childs father has such a history. That astounds me. Its not like a soy based formula is bad for them.
