Waste management

The day after Abby came home from the hospital, we had a call from a York Region Health nurse. She expressed concern that the baby had not pooped in more than a day. We were less concerned, as Abby had pooped like a goose for the first 24 hours, and seemed to be quite reasonably unable to produce any more until Sue's milk was in fully.

Still, when a nurse tells you to worry, you worry a little. Sue fed Abby every two hours for the rest of that day, and we gave her a little formula (as advised) that evening.

So, of course, Abby has pooped so much in the days since that one might believe Sue produces not breast milk but prune juice.

I'm thinking of collecting a day's worth of diapers and dropping them off at York Region Health.
