new file/frequency of bowel movement after 6 weeks

[Guest guest]

Dear Rasa;

I came online today in spite of otherthings not only having missed my

community here but in appreciation of this chart. I have only one

piece of feedback I can give, that is about after 6 weeks, the normal

poops discussion. It says, it is normal to stool every 1 - 7 days ...!!!

 

This is a sign The mothers either/and:

 

Are consistently not getting generously enough good fats (butterfat,

other good cholesterols, some sesame and olive oils, not deep frieds

here, some flax oil or fish oil may suit/be needed also)

Probably eating red meat

Possibly giving formula

Probably not enough liquids, especially warm temp

Quite possibly taking iced foods and drinks

Otherwise becoming more vata aggravated in food and activity herself,

Perhaps giving the baby solids, oh my.

 

And that the doc or whoever created the charts and I have heard some

such advice before - that they have no idea what infant abdominal

comfort is about and it's relationship to gas, immune strength, and

other things.

 

Every baby I've seen not pooping AT LEAST once daily is uncomfortable

and difficult to console, increasingly. The acidity and toxin backup

alone will do this, to say nothing of other experientials around

constipation.

 

THanks! Warm REgards;

Ysha

Hi Vicky -

Gas is actually a good diagnostic from which we can sometimes prevent

the greater discomfort brewing .... it is a sign to ask more questions

about the mom's diet (baby's!)and see what little or bigger

adjustments can be made hopefully to prevent accumulations leading to

colic. Gas in a very vata tummy can be excruciating, in a relaxed

tummy can be no big deal for themoment of course.

 

Yes, the smiling thing is cute, eh?

 

With my moms, an example here about the gas significance ....

I'm remembering an Indian woman who supposedly was " on the postpartum

dietary recommendations " , with her elder mother there, and a

girlfriend who owned an indian restaurant bringing " appropriate " foods

daily. The gas she released during her second massage (after having

told me everything was fine, digestion, gas, etc) was a sign to ask

deeper and discover things like pease, onions, tomatoes, and other

things in the foods. Regular use over several weeks often leads

builds up into colic for baby as well as compromised rejuv and

comforts for mom.

 

> A little off topic....I notice that gas is way over rated..blaming

everything on gas. What about all the times babies toot and don't cry

beforehand. So I doubt much of their crying is gas. We even blame

smiling on gas (like WE smile when we have gas:) Vicky
