has my baby got a stomach bug?! and how many bottles does your lo have

[cassysuri2010]

Hello!

My lo is 2 months today but for the last couple of days her poo has been a bit odd. She is formula fed and on aptamil - usually her poos are fine. But recently they have been very runny and green not yellow and soft like they should be. Has anyone else had this with their lo's?!

Also I just wondered for a two month old baby how many bottles they have during a 24 hour period? mine has about nine?!

Thanks for your help x

No probs with poo here- yellow peanut butter/chicken korma texture!!

9 bottles!! - how much does LO take in a day?

Anna takes 5 or 6 - totalling about 25oz a day!!

Imi went through a stage of green poo for about 1 week and it went back to yellow - HV said it was very normal for FF babies x

ok hopefully her green poo will clear up! as for the bottles she feeds every three hours still and has between 4 to 5 fl oz each time. sometimes she doesnt drink it all though. But she starts crying and getting fussy every three hours almost on the dot! its just she has about nine bottles and on the side of the aptamil carton it said at their age it should be about 5 feeds in 24 hours. im lost!!!

No hun, you can't give her too muchj, if she's hungry feed her

we've always been giving Zara more than it said on the cartons - I think at 8 weeks she was having 6/7 bottles a day of about 7oz. My theory was if she was hungry she'd eat it

Her poo is nearly always greenish in colour but I'm not too worried as she seems perfectly happy.
