Day 7 of 14 Days of Wellness with Dr Ketch

We are halfway through this journey already… and I am so proud of everyone who has shown up, commented, shared tips, and chosen to move their bodies a little more each day.

Let me tell you why this small gift (the pedometer) truly matters.

Many of us believe we are active because we move around all day…
but in reality, most people are not moving enough to protect their heart. The first time I used one, I realized that I took only 300 plus steps! Do you know how many I should take in a day? 10,000! But I did not hit 10,000 immediately. I started small – 1000, 2000 and so on until I hit my daily target over a number of months.

A pedometer simply shows you:
• how many steps you take
• how far you walk
• how many calories you burn

It turns ordinary daily movement into a clear health goal and small daily steps like this can help prevent high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease over time.

This is why I am giving one away every single day until February 14.

To participate today and qualify to win:
1) Follow this page
2) Tell us in the comments:
– what you did yesterday to stay active, OR
– one simple thing you do to stay active

Real change begins with one step…and then another.

Let’s keep moving together

Cheesy Things in Breast Fed Bay’s Stool!

Good morning doc.

Q: I’ve got a newborn turning 2weeks today. He’s been having running tummy yellow with somethings like white cheese. Is it normal. I am starting to get worried now. Another thing is that my stomach is been a little bit sore and its making noise(gas),n this is happening to the baby. Must I stop breastfeeding or what. Confused mum. Thanks

A: Dear mum. Congratulations on your newborn, and thank you for writing in. I understand why you’re worried, but let me reassure you 😊

First, let’s talk about your baby’s stool.

In newborns, especially those who are breastfed, it is completely normal to have frequent, runny yellow stools. The stool may also contain small whitish or seed-like particles, which many mums describe as looking like “white cheese.” This is normal and is simply undigested milk fat. It is not diarrhea and is not harmful.

Now about the tummy noises.

Babies’ tummies naturally make grumbling, gurgling sounds throughout the day. These sounds are caused by the intestines working, moving milk, air, and digestive contents along. You may notice the sounds more before feeding or shortly after feeding, and that is perfectly normal.

It’s also common for babies to swallow some air while feeding, which can lead to gas and more tummy sounds. Some foods can also increase gas, but this does not mean you should stop breastfeeding.

You mentioned that your own stomach is sore and gassy. Please know that a baby’s tummy noises are not caused by your stomach making noise, and this is not a reason to stop breastfeeding. Breast milk is still the best food for your baby.

As long as your baby:

Is feeding well

Is active and alert

Is not vomiting persistently

Does not seem to be in severe pain

then there is usually no cause for concern.

However, if you notice:

Blood or mucus in the stool

Persistent vomiting

Fever

Severe abdominal distension

Poor feeding or lethargy

please take your baby to see a doctor promptly.

And even in the absence of these external signs, whenever in doubt, it is always okay to ask and to seek medical advice. You’re doing well, mum. 🌸

Have a lovely week ahead.
