In a tough spot (UPDATED)

BB0214 · May 2014

I don't post a whole lot, but I need some support. I've been really struggling lately. For 2 weeks, LO has had nothing but green poop and yesterday there was blood in it. Obviously, I'm taking her to the doctor today. I had been working with an LC because we both thought it was due to oversupply. And it seems like she can't get enough food. Yesterday she ate practically every hour and acted like she was starving. I weighed her this morning and she's not gaining any weight. I'm really scared that something serious has been going on and I've just chalked everything up to over supply. I feel like a horrible mom for this. And on top of everything else, I have a clogged milk duct.
I'm hoping to get some answers from the doctor this morning even though I'm scared to death that something is horribly wrong. The not gaining weight and blood in poop scares me. Please send thoughts and prayers that it's
nothing serious.

UPDATE
We just got back from the doctor. We thankfully had taken pictures of her diapers this morning. The doctor took one look at it and said that it looks like a milk protein allergy. For now, I'm cutting out dairy and if it isn't better in 2 weeks I'm supposed to cut out soy. The pedi also said not to worry about over supply for now since LO is growing and is gaining well. Let's hope it works.

Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers. I appreciate all the support.

T&P to you and your LO. Hopefully it's nothing serious and the pedi can get it figured out!

You are absolutely not a bad mom. You have been attempting to correct the problem all along and are taking the next steps. That makes you a great mom. I hope you get some answers. Hugs!
