So I'm slightly panicking!! Ok.. actually really quite stressed out!!! So I have solely pumped 100% of my breastmilk for my 3 month old since birth. He was a preemie and had trouble latching so we took to just giving him bottles of breastmilk and have stuck with it. He is really quite a happy baby.. gaining weight quite well eats 100 ml give or take every 3 to 4 hours. He sleeps 11 or so hours at night and only wakes up for a feed once and is always satisfied. I pump completely everything out of both breasts for each feed and really don't have an over abundance of milk.. it always seems to be just enough for one feeding. The problem is I was just reading about green stools.. I had thought they were normal for a breast fed baby but apparently not???!!! He has had green stools since I can remember.. green mucousy stools maybe once a day. He is slightly gassy as well. I feel horrible.. I thought I was doing the best for him by giving him breastmilk but now I'm worried I'm doing more harm than good!! I've been giving him bottles so long I really don't think there will be any way to get him on the breast. Can someone help??
