I have a 10 day old newborn and I don t breast feed him because it upset his stomach alot. I noticed when I held him in my arms his thighs to his toes were blue/purple. I was wondering what could that be? Also when you touch his feet to put socks on he cries more than usual like they are sensitive.
Thanks for asking gone through your question and understand your concern. You saying that your baby stomach upset when he breastfeed her, how you feel that his stomach upset after breastfeeding ? The breast milk is best for baby. After breastfeeding baby may regurgitate feed or may pass stool. Both are normal. sometimes we advise stopping mother to consume dairy products. If I was your treating pediatrician, I would check his weigh and compare with birth weight. It should cross the birth weight on 10 day of life. As breastfeed is best gift for baby by mother, so before leaving it please consult your doctor. Other thing you are concern that his toes and blue. If you rule out that his feet are not cold then you should consult your pedestrian, he should check oxygen saturation in your baby feed. I answer your query
