infant digestive system + pooping is v diff.
Apparently its normal for e runny egg slimey texture? hard to find, only 1 website mentioned. Its normal for Bbs to go up to 5~10 days with no motion even... the smell factor seems more impt on whether its normal, for slimey yellow poop.
Apparently also, breast milk has good bacteria in it already which is gd for bb's tummy... so I guess I dunnid to worry abt moyashimon battle in Bb's C's tummy las time + e fleeting idea of yakult... though I know prob not suitable for BB.
Digestive sys info: was lookin for it cos wondering why BB C's regurgitation sometimes is v thick white stuff... even after feed. Where's all e normal stomach water/ acid?
"In the early days after the birth, many babies will vomit up mucous from their stomach. This is mostly the remnants of the amniotic fluid that was swallowed in the womb, mixed with mucous produced by the lining of the baby's stomach, in preparation for absorbing milk feeds."

"Friendly bacteria can also support the cells lining the gut to produce more and ‘thicker’ mucous. This mucous layer forms a protective barrier lining the gut and helps stop harmful bacteria getting into the blood stream and the rest of the body."
He has alot of mucus, so = good i guess :/

"At birth, your infant's digestive system is still developing and is not yet ready to carry out the complex tasks of masticating (liquefying) and digesting (breaking down) foods. Your infant, of course, has no teeth yet and the salivary secretions necessary for proper starch breakdown are still insufficient. The salivary secretions responsible for initiating starch breakdown are not present in significant concentrations until around the time the first teeth appear (commonly six to eight months of age). This is often accompanied by a noticeable increase in saliva and drooling."
" Feeding infants foods which they cannot digest properly merely leads to the decomposition of these foods in their intestines and the associated challenges which result. These include the most common infant complaints of today, namely: colic, irritability, insomnia, constipation or diarrhea, bloating and gas, skin rashes and eczemas, recurrent upper respiratory infections, allergies and asthma.
..................
What happens when foods other than breast milk are introduced too early? The enhanced absorption characteristics of an infant's small intestine (in comparison to that of an older child or adult) and the limited digestive capacity, combine to allow for increased uptake, from the intestine into the blood, of incompletely digested proteins orantigens. The infant's immune system subsequently identifies these antigens as foreign,non-utilizable and potentially harmful and attempts to remove them from the blood byforming antibodies."
In other words, can trigger a food allergy reaction >.> meh.
k will stick to 6 mths then intro solids safer.
