What Could White Cheesy Strings In Stools Of A Breastfed Infant Mean?
Hi my daughter is breastfeeding her baby and doesn t want to wean until he is 6 months ( he s 5 months now). She is in Turkey visiting her partners family and all they want to do is try and feed him. She had been very firm but today she noticed white cheesy stringy things in his poo. She is worried that they have fed him

Hi...this is a normal finding even i an exclusively breast fed baby. Do not worry if he is active. Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry.
