Hi! First post here. I have an exclusively breastfed 4.5 month old. Since probably 2 months of age, she has had intermittent green, mucous stools. For at least the past month, they have pretty much all had mucous but they're not always green. It varies. She gained weight quickly the first 2 months and then between her 2 month and 4 month well checks she was only gaining 3 oz per week. The other night I saw a couple of small bloody specs in her diaper. The poop was also green and a little foamy.
I struggled with overactive let down for a while, especially on the right side. I have a very healthy supply. I'm not sure if I would call it an oversupply, but there's plenty of milk. Wondering about the foremilk/hindmilk factor here.
Baby is happy and hitting milestones. She is not overly fussy. She does spit up, probably 2-3 times a day, but it's a small amount. Maybe quarter-sized or so.
I rented a digital baby scale from the hospital (medela III maybe? can't remember) for a full week and weighed many feedings. This was about 2 weeks ago. She transferred anywhere from 3.5-5.5 ounces per feeding and it seemed to be averaging 25-30 ounces per day. Again, I definitely do not have a low supply.
I'm just at my wit's end trying to figure her out. I want her to be gaining steadily and having normal poops. Her ped doesn't seem to be concerned but I just feel like something is off. Does anyone have experience with this? I read such varying advice on the subject. Could it be a food intolerance when she is not fussy? I thought that was kind of a "must" with food intolerance in babies.
