it is possible that the baby is not latching well to the breast since he is taking breastmilk using plate and spoon.

Diarrhoea in children is mostly caused by viruses followed by bacteria.Some other organisms like fungi and protozoa may also cause diarrhoea
The latter mentioned mainly cause diarrhoea in individuals who do not have the maximum capacity to fight infections (an example is individuals with HIV AIDS ). Diarrhoea on its own may not kill but the loss of water and minerals as a result of diarrhoea is capable of causing death.
Hello Mum, No only watch out if your baby is reacting to it or not.

If the baby is exclusively breastfed, there is no need to worry.
Kindly pay attention to your own diet and avoid herbal remedies or drugs that are not prescribed by the doctors which may pass via the breast milk to affect the baby. Avoid heavy spicy or flavoured foods as well as some also affect the baby when passed via the breast milk to the baby! If MUCUS persists in the stools kindly see a Paediatrician for thorough evaluation and management
Babies on EBF can poo several times daily and sometimes not poo for days.
Stool with Semi formed solids like melon is normal for EBF babies as long as the stools is not watery. That is does not sink into the diaper like urine. Then it's normal
No, it's not necessary. Just bath the baby normal and also there's no need for twice a day bath.
So sorry to hear about your experience. Note that you shouldn't border yet until further tests and scans are conducted in few days or weeks. There are two possibilities in this instance, the one is that the pregnancy is too early, or is not advancing due to implantation factors or the second possibility is that of an ectopic pregnancy. If the pregnancy is too early, the uterus might be empty and you'll need to do another test. So you can't conclude anything yet. You need to see a gynaecologist.

if your child is on exclusive breastfeeding. It's nothing to worry about. If on formula, then ensure you are mixing the formula correctly as well as give water intermittently. But please note that we only recommend Exclusive Breast feeding for the first six months of life.
Yes, your baby is doing great.
On your baby throwing up after feed, it is reflux or more properly called Gastro-oesophageal reflux. It basically means food tend to return from the stomach back to the gut....which is the opposite of what is right way.

Hello mom. The average weight of a five year old is 18Kg ( /- 20%). At 15.5kg she is still within acceptable weight range.
Baby should be able to pass it out in poo, please watch out if you see any sign of distress please straight to the nearest hospital.
Dear mom please leave it alone, nothing to worry about as it will go on it's own.
Dear mom, It depends on the reason for the heavy breathing first. Kindly see a Paediatrician or ENT surgeon for further evaluation and management
