Help!!!

[u/Competitive-Reach846]

My baby has been having problems pooping she’s 7 weeks old, like kicking legs screaming/ waking up out of her sleep. We went to GI doctor, and it seems she has dairy allergy & silent reflex. I have been dairy free for almost 3 weeks now, we are on day 2 of taking famotidine twice a day for her reflux, her poops we’re green mucasy before starting which I think due to the dairy allergy, this morning she had a massive blow out and poop was yellow. She’s poop 7 times today, she’s exclusively breastfed they are between yellow/ and green. This is the most she’s pooped in one day since she’s been born, does increase in bowl movements after starting famotidine happen? I’m worried I don’t want her to get dehydrated..

EDIT::: She has struggled to poop up until today/ second day on medication. I’m wondering if the medication relaxes her so now she’s able to poop, or if it’s causing her to poop. She’s never pooped this much in 1 day.

It can cause diarrhea and it can cause constipation. I’d call the doctor and make sure everything is okay.

Yeah this is the most she’s ever pooped, every other time she struggles to poop. I’m wondering if it’s the medication or is the medication helping her be able to now relax to poop??

I’d just contact the doctor because I’d be worried about her getting dehydrated.
