I hear laying babies with colic on their tummies may provide temporary relief. Then placing heated(with dry iron perhaps) towels on the tummy helps!

Ensure she burps well after her feeds too.

Ingredients
1 mudu of guinea corn
1 mudu of millet
1/4 mudu of maize (yellow or white)

Method

To make raw paste;

1. Wash the guinea corn, maize and millet and soak in a clean bucket for two days, making sure you change the water every 12hours (This allows the grains to ferment).

2. Then take the grains out of water, wash properly and take it to the commercial grinder for grinding. Grind the grains very soft and smooth.

3. Wash your hands properly. Using your fingers and a clean sieve, pass the grounded paste through the sieve to separate the soft and the harder parts of the ground maize, adding clean water to aid the passage.

4. After about 30 minutes, the smooth paste settles at the bottom of the container, and the water is up, gradually pour away the water and keep the smooth paste in a refrigerator for your use.

Note: Mudu is the measurement bowl used in the local markets. One mudu is equivalent to about seven milk cups.

Storage: if there is no electricity, you can add clean water to the mixture and store in plastic bowl with a lid. Do pour away the water and pour in some clean water to the bowl containing the corn paste every 24 hours.

Does she take any iron supplements? Some milk or cereals contain a good amount iron and can cause greenish poop...my older DD's poop is green the days she takes cereal with milk and normal colour the days she doesn't.

Congrats on the job.

Express as many bottles of breastmilk.as you can for her tonight

Depending on your pocket aptamil, sma gold, nan are all good formula that you can start her on. You can just make provision for one tin in addition to the breast milk expressed

Sorry mama but I don't think that's a nice response to her plight. No mom wants to hear she's not feeding her child plus I don't see how it relates to green poop.
My two cents..
