Does this sound like possible CF?

My daughter had about 12 bowel movements a day and breastfed every ten minutes by the time she was four months. She was not absorbing anything. Her bowel movements were huge, but because she was breastfed, they smelled normal. She had no respiratory symptoms (and at 22 months has none!!!) so everyone is so completely different. I wouldn't worry, but you're a mom, so of course you're going to worry! Your kid sounds pretty normal, but for your own reassurance, get a sweat test. I think they're around $300. Which might be worth it to get a good night's sleep. Keep in mind, CF is pretty rare, only 1 in 3500. So the odds are with you. Good luck.
