Hi Amanda, it's sad that maternity leave in Nigeria does not meet up the requirements for nurturing babies adequately especially in the 1st 4-6 months of life. However, kindly exclusively breastfeed baby in the next 3-5days and she will poo better. I know it is not easy and sounds impracticable but you need to keep expressing as much as possible (morning& night). Know and teach your babysitter how to make formula milk adequate. If the mixture is in adequate - baby be constipated or have diarrhea
