My 2-month-old daughter was on mixed feeding for a week after leaving the maternity hospital, and she pooped every day. Once she was only on breastfeeding, her stool became less frequent—about once every 3 days—but with normal consistency, and she wasn't bothered by it. Sometimes I helped her with a cotton swab, but yesterday she had a formed, sausage-like stool that wasn't hard. She didn't cry when pooping, but it still shouldn't be like that. Is it okay to give her formula, for example, a fermented milk one, once a day? I don't understand much about IV feeding, please advise 🙏 for now, I want to try to give her water. Who gives water, in what volume, how much at a time, and how often per day? Our pediatrician is not very competent on this matter, unfortunately (I'll say right away, my diet definitely doesn't affect it—I am on a strict diet).

I will say what I was told — a child on breastfeeding does not need additional feeding, just as the mother does not need to follow a diet.
On breastfeeding, a stool once every 3-7 days is considered normal.

This is normal during breastfeeding

Katya Regarding the diet, it depends on the child. I strictly followed a diet during the first few months of breastfeeding (boiled buckwheat, boiled chicken, and beef), and the baby's tummy was fine.
Once I drank kefir — the baby got a stomach ache.
Drinks with caffeine are better not to be consumed, as the child may have sleep problems.
The same applies to sweets.
Everything the mother eats is transmitted to the child.
It is also important to observe the child's reaction to different foods.

A diet can be relaxed when a person has proper nutrition.
And if there is no habit of eating healthily, then it is necessary to follow a proper diet.

Olya That's what I'm saying, that my diet is 100% fine, so her stool 🤷‍♀️ doesn't depend on me.
