I am a new mum and we are waiting for the gene testing to come back for my 6 week old. He came up positive for one mutation in his newborn screening and had a borderline sweat test.
Now, his bloods came back fine for his vitamins etc. but my question is about the loose or oily stools. I thought babies just had loose stools? How can you tell its oily or whatnot?
My fellow sometimes poops little bits and sometimes saves a big one up... it is of course loose and runny (but still mustary yellow and seedy), but I was told this was normal by my midwifes and docs? What do you look for when it comes to oily poops??
