Feeling like a shitty mom: breastfeeding makes my son sick

It has to be something you're eating. Do you drinks cows milk?

I agree. What ever you eat impact them as well. Breastfeeding is the best for our children. Try to seek more help before you give up and blame your self.

@drewandvaehsmommy I haven't since he was born I changed my entire diet to make it absolutely the healthiest I could for him

Did you know that eating peanut can constipate out little ones.

Same as eating spicy food, it can cause there tummy to hurt.

Remember, what you eat, they also eat.

Have you spoken to your doctor or a lactation consultant?

@mrz.lulu I've gone to six different lactation consultants took them a list of everything I eat and they can't seem to help

They are suppose to have dirreah. Thats how my daughters poop comes out. Watery and mustard.

His is full on brown and soaks all the way through his diapers and clothes

@clairandelijahsmom,

I am sorry hun.

Try to do half formula and half breastmilk, until he starts getting used to breastfeeding. Sometimes drastic changes could affect all of us, especially if you have been doing formula. Have you also tried this?

I agree with @js_kidsmom,

Since breastmilk is so healthy, and it hardly has any bad in it, our children take less time to pass through there tummy.

Sometimes they go without pooping for 3 days bcuz our breastmilk is so good for them.

When breastfed their poop comes out water because bm is healthy and has nothing but nutrients so they absorb bm more than formula. Formula has a bunch of other stuff mixed in there that is not wanted or digested so poop comes out harder.

What does your Doctor say.

They might to cultural test if they don't think it's normal.

Remember that all poops come in different colors depending of our food intake

@mrz.lulu breastfed babies can actually can go up to 14 days without taking a poop. As formula fed babies should only go up to 3days.

It's okay! Don't blame yourself lady! As long as your baby is being fed, that should be all that matters. Don't let this make you feel like any less of a mom ❤️ you're amazing

Are you completely sure it's diarrhea and not normal breastfed baby poop?

I breastfed my daughter for three months this is not normal

Poop can be weird while baby and the digestive system is adjusting. It's only been a week. I think it's too soon to say you're failing and go on formula.

If your baby is feeling better do what you thinks best.
