These should be yellow, loose unformed poos at least the size of a 2p coin. From about six weeks, some babies have less frequent but abundant poos. When a mother is producing too much milk, her baby may often bring up milk, be very windy and want to nurse a lot. He may suffer with colic, and be fussy at the breast, arching away when the milk starts flowing.
Rather than the typical yellow poos of a breastfed baby, his may be green and frothy—occasionally or all the time. With oversupply, a baby is likely to be gaining weight very fast, as much as g in a week.
A baby coping with an oversupply of milk may mistakenly be diagnosed with lactose intolerance or reflux—but the problem can be overcome by attention to positioning and attachment, and by ensuring that he takes a full feed from one breast before switching to the other.
See Too much milk and oversupply for more information. A baby may have thrush in his mouth. Mothers can also have painful nipple thrush. The main symptoms are fussy nursing because of a sore mouth and sore, itchy, burning nipples. A baby may also have nappy rash.
When a mother or baby takes antibiotics, their risk of thrush increases. If baby is getting bottles you might consider putting them away, at least for a while. When you must use a bottle, only use a newborn nipple for as long as baby will tolerate it so that she never gets a really fast flow of milk from the bottle, but has to work a little more to get the milk.
Sometimes babies of moms with oversupply or fast let-down will also get very used to the fast flow and object when it normally slows somewhere between 3 weeks to 3 months. It can be helpful to do some breast compression when this fussiness starts or right before you expect it to. This will help speed up the milk flow again. Once compression stops helping, try switching baby to the other side when she begins to fuss and back and forth again after using compression as you need to.
Babies become very efficient at the breast with growth and maturity. They can milk the breast in a lot less time per feeding session than they required before. On a similar note, an occasional baby will just want to suck at the end of a nursing session and the flow of milk with let-down frustrates her.
You might see if offering her a finger or pacifier if baby is older than weeks to suck on during these times seems to help. Sometimes babies will refuse or fuss at a breast when the let-down is slower or too forceful , or the supply a bit lower. See also: Lopsided! What can I do? Many young babies tend to pull off and fuss at the breast in the evening. See the article Cluster Feeding and Fussy Evenings. Teething can cause fussy nursing behavior, as some babies experience gum discomfort with sucking.
Baby might start to nurse, but then pull off and cry or fuss and not want to nurse anymore. See Teething for more information and tips. Frequent pulling off the breast can be a symptom of thrush. A stuffy nose can cause fussy nursing behavior.
