I am on day 15 of TED and his stool is completely normal now. It is yellow and peanut butter consistency. I never thought I would be so happy to see normal poop!

But I also have introduced new foods to him and I think I know the answer to this but just want some reassurence. Is it normal for their poop to stink when they are eating solids? I mean it makes sense that it would but I was use to the bf smelling poop before I added the solids.

yep, it’ll stink…I would say to look at behavior and rashes, and of course reflux, to help judge how solids are going…if he’s ok with what he’s eating then you’re ok, too! so if you’ve given him something not on the TED and he’s fine, then I would say you can eat it, too!

there’s a link from the main stickied MSPI page that tells how to introduce food after TED…

Thanks. His behavior is fine but how would I know if he is having issues with what I am feeding him. Would his stool be mucusy? His stool is completely normal. He does spit up but always has it is just nastier now that food is involved. His eczema isnt completely gone but his doc doesnt even think it is related to what he eats?

what do YOU think?

do you find eczema is related? did it get better when you altered your diet, therefore altering his diet?

many drs don’t believe the diet ‘thing’ but YOU are the mama and you know your baby best

as for behavior, what I mean is SLEEP. if baby sleeps fine and you introduce a new food and then sleep is NOT fine, cut out the new food and take a look to see if sleep improves. milk & soy (mspi) for SURE affects sleep…

so not mucousy stool per se- some here & there are NORMAL- but keep a journal to really find out for yourself if the eczema is related to diet and how sleep goes, fussiness, painful gas, etc…

Well I dont know because he doesnt sleep good period. Even when I was just doing the diet for 2 weeks. He is very restless. But he has only been medicated for reflux for 1 week. I notice the sleep is a little better than before but it is still a work in progress.

Also his skin is hard to read because it is so sensitive he reacts to other things not just food. For example he was on the rug this morning and broke out with hives.

So I dont know. I have been on the TED for over 2 weeks and he hasnt slept good yet……but I *thought* that was reflux related…I dunno

His eczema got ALOT better when I changed his diet but it never totally went away.
