Here is a boy, his eyes opened this past Sunday/Monday.

Yesterday morning he was fine, towards the evening I sensed that he might not be feeling that great, but wasn't sure.
This morning this is what his poop looks like.
Is this overfeeding?

He has not gained any weight since Tuesday - stayed at 120g.

He has been eating anywhere about 6-7 cc.

But as I wrote in my other thread about licking/suckling, when I would find him licking and suckling on the girls, I thought he was hungry and let him snack on another 2-3 cc, which he willingly and sometimes ravenously took, which I thought was the sign that he might have been hungry, and hence - licked and suckled.

What should I do to get his poop back to normal?

:thankyou

Sorry for the poor quality of the photos - had to use my phone, no camera right now. But the poop photos are pretty much what it looks like.

Hi astra:wave123

Looks like over feeding.....

If they are still starving after you know they have had enough try offering just plain water to top them off.

I know this boy ! He had this already.. He is suckling on the girls.. :nono
Separate it.. 1-2 pedialyte feedings and go back with the milk. Tomorrow he will be fine. :thumbsup

Is it my imagination,or does this baby look thin? Is he eating FV formula?

Thank you all for your suggestions,

Yes, he eat FV and lots of it, but for the past two days he has not been gaining weight (see my post above). Hence my concern + the mushy poop.

I will try all the suggestions. Hopefully, that will resolve the issue.

PS as I wrote, these photos are not great. He does not look as gangly ;) as in them.

So ingesting urine will cause diarrhea too? Good to know (for future reference ;) )
