BFing moms who supplement
(Also posted on playgroup)
What does baby's poop look like? I've always BFed, but right now I'm having to supplement because I had an abcess on my nipple (yes, it's as painful as it sounds) that turned out to be MRSA (the drug resistant staph infection), so I'm having to pump and dump from my left side (still BFing from the right). Anyway, I know that FF baby poop looks different from BF baby poop, but what does it look like when baby gets both?
The reason I want to know is that one of the signs of an infant having MRSA is a change in their stools. DS's has changed, but I don't know if it's because of MRSA or because he's not exclusively BFed right now. It's now sort of greenish instead of mustard colored, but it's still seedy like before.
