Vomiting and Bowel Movement Can breast milk be the cause of diarrhoea and vomiting in some babies This is not true. Breast milk
is the safest option. Some exclusively breastfed babies pass frequent
watery motions - at times green or with mucus. Some of them vomit
curds or milk off and on. This is no cause for concern if they are
active and pass urine frequently. No treatment is required and breastfeeding
should be continued. Sometimes normally thriving breastfed babies pass
a motion as infrequently as once every three or five days. This does not
mean that the baby is constipated unless the stool is hard (which is unlikely
in an exclusively breastfed baby).
Do green motions mean that the baby is not getting enough milk No, that is another myth. Again,
the number of times the baby passes urine is an indicator of his good health
or otherwise. If the baby is active and passes urine normally, the green
motions are normal. The so called 'starvation stools' are seen in
an emaciated starved child who passes traces of green mucus in place of
stools.
