LOL!

That doesn't sound too far off from how I would probably react! hehehe

I was on the verge of "freak out" when I saw the first breast milk stools
and perplexed at how they could possibly turn saffron yellow...

It seems pretty obvious that mothers just seem to know best, doesn't it?
I'm beginning to learn that maybe everybody else with "more experience"
doesn't necessarily know my baby.

True, but wait till you think something is wrong- most new mothers are
entitled to at least one 'freak out' over something trivial- I lost it
completely when my first baby developed a band of spots around his
abdomen -
which, of course, I discovered in the middle of the night. The spots
didn't
match anything in the 'Hideous Baby Diseases' books I'd collected and the
only illness I could think of that had bands of spots around the trunk was
shingles. I was practically hysterical in the wee small hours, convinced
that my baby had some horrid rare tropical infection (obviously incurable
and probably fatal) and that it was all my fault. Luckily I telephoned my
mother first (having sent my husband to get the car out of the garage so
we
could rush the baby to the nearest hospital)- she asked a couple of
obvious
questions and then pointed out that it was nappy rash and we hadn't been
cleaned him far enough up his front at the last nappy change (his father's
fault- gosh, he really copped it when he walked through the door!)

It was probably lack of sleep, insane over-protectiveness and the
overwhelming responsibility of it all that caused me to fly off the deep
end
quite so madly but I must admit to doing nearly the same thing with my
second....
