Iugr

My is an IUGR baby from 8th month and had growth reduction in her abdominal area but she is a term baby and weighed 2.3kg and was not even admitted to nicu as she was healthy.she has latching problems and her weight became less after satisfied discharge from hospital and then i began formula nd pumped my milk as well.weight increased normaly and was healthy for her first checkup too.two days back after not giving breastmilk for 3 weeks as my milk was drained but i pumped out milk,which was very thick and fed her.she is having loose motions and found few blood stains.motion routine was done and appeared to have 40-50 pus cells, RBC 10-15 and Occult blood was present with greenish yellow loose motion.and she was given antibiotic drops and motion routine was done again and the pus cells have reduced to 15-20 and the rbc is Nil! Does rbc nill means there is no occult blood too? Moreover my baby was hungry and cried every hour and i fed her too.but now she is fed only after 2 hours and seems to be fine.is this overfeeding the reason or was it my thick stored breast milk? She is two months yesterday!

HI first of all your baby is doing fine so you dont need to worry . 2nd it was just because of infection which she got not because of milk or overfeeding ...theres no thumb rule that you should feed after 2 hr ...ideal is to have demand feed means if baby cries you should feed but gap between 2 feeds should not be more than 3-4 hr otherwise baby may become hypoglycemic...no rbc means theres no bleed ...
