pottying & eating? *HELP*

Evelynn will be 5 months old on the 18th, gosh it feels weird to say that! She's getting SO big. Anyways, to the point...


"Yesterday" 11/12, I was having problems, so I went to the ER. They gave me medications I didn't feel comfortable breastfeeding on. So I pumped and dumped.

She ate 8 oz of formula, around 8 pm on 11/12 (she usually only eats a 6 oz bottle of BM when she gets bottles)
at around midnight so 11/13, she ate a 4 oz bottle, and slept for the night until like 8 am.
She usually cries AS SOON as she wakes up to eat, has been for 5 months, and she didn't do that. She didn't want to eat until like 11 am, and wouldn't eat anymore than 3 ounces, didn't act hungry after that and still wouldn't eat by 3 pm, at that point I was getting worried, I tried to feed her a bottle, and she only ate 2 1/2 ounces.

Around 6 o' clock, I felt comfortable breastfeeding again, so I let her nurse. She nursed like 5 minutes and just stopped. She's been doing this ALL day. Nursing a little while, then just stopping...

She also hasn't had a wet diaper since 7 o'clock PM. It's now 1:36 AM.
Which is VERY unusual for her. She ALWAYS is wet, I feel like I'm changing her constantly. She also only pooped once since she had that first formula bottle at 8 pm on 11/12. She usually poops 3-4 times a day.

What should I do?!!?!? I'm worried!

If she isn't eating/nursing as much she isn't going to pee as much. Her system is probably backed up from the formula so I wouldn't freak out unless it goes on for multiple days. If it continues til mid day tomorrow I would call the pedi. Just keep trying to nurse her as much as possible so she can get fluids and hopefully get her system back on track.

It's only been a day, nothing to really worry about. If you still don't get a wet diaper by mid day tomorrow, I'd call the pedi.

I'm just used to her peeing 24/7 that's all.
And, I'm worried because I can't eat anything tomorrow, I have a procedure thursday. I can't nurse her until 18 hours after the procedure.
I could only pump 2 bottles of milk. and that's not going to be enough for her.

Is it going to mess her up going back and forth?
