breastfed 6 week old with mucous in stool

breastfed 6 week old with mucous in stool

My six-week old daughter has had mucous in her stool since her second week.  My ped told me it was due to a milk allergy.  I have, for two weeks now, stopped all forms of dairy and soy in my diet.  Her stools, however, still contain the mucous and she is still fussy especially right before a bowl movement.  She only gets 3 ounces of allimentum formula every 24 hrs but her stools also smell bad, not sweet.  I don't think she has an infection because she doesn't have fever and has checked out at the doctor's visits.  What else could it be?

Hi and welcome to our community.

Corn .. that may be something to try to eliminate.  Depending on the type of Alimentum some have corn in it and others don't (RTF vs. powder I think but don't quote me) and sometimes the corn will cause what you describe.  I have much exp. with reflux, infant food allergies, asthma with my children and corn is so oftern overlooked.

Let us know how you do and feel free to keep in touch via PM anytime!  My "babies" are 18, 16, 11 & 10 now!
