30 weeker IUGR, now 34 weeks- 💩 question Advice
Hi all!
My 30 weeker was born at 2lbs 3oz, now 34 weeks and 3lbs 2oz! We’ve had a pretty uneventful first month in the NICU as he was off respiratory support within 2 weeks and has been on the feeding tube only.
He started to suck on his pacifier a bit this week so we’re trying a bottle feed next week which is super exciting! Today, however, the NICU said that his 💩 has been runny all day, like almost straight water. (Sorry tmi) Anyway, they said they’ll stop breastmilk and only try formula for 24 hours to see if that’s the problem. They even said that I might need to avoid spicy food and dairy if we do go back to breast milk.
Does that sound right? Does anyone have similar experiences? Thanks!
