The very first was at her first ped appt so I was able to ask right ther if it was normal. Same react as @.twist.: they laughed and said yes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-poop-when-to-be-concerned#post-987862 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 01:29:07 +0000 .twist. 987862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Normal! I learned all about bm poop when u took LO to emerg. Because of right orange liquid poop. </p> <p>The doctor, who giggled in the most professional way possible,and did a complete physical of LO, informed me that bm poop can be many colours and liquidy wasn't a problem. I felt so silly for being there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-poop-when-to-be-concerned#post-987860 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 01:26:04 +0000 Arden 987860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>BF poop usually looks like yellow liquid with some whitish "seeds", or cheese like bits.</p> <p>Sorry for that visual. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-poop-when-to-be-concerned#post-987853 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 01:18:36 +0000 deerylou 987853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks, ladies. It was just a little concerning to see what appeared to be yellow water in her diaper, when her stools have been much darker, up to this point. Is there a way to differentiate between normal BM poop and genuine diarrhea? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-poop-when-to-be-concerned#post-987851 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 01:16:52 +0000 Smurfette 987851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Normal BM poop! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-poop-when-to-be-concerned#post-987849 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 01:16:24 +0000 LaineysMom 987849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That sounds like breast milk poop to me! Congrats on getting your supply up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-poop-when-to-be-concerned#post-987844 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 01:10:18 +0000 HLK208 987844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Normal! In my experience, BM diapers have always been runnier than FF diapers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-poop-when-to-be-concerned#post-987843 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 01:10:03 +0000 birdofafeather 987843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like regular bm poop to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-poop-when-to-be-concerned#post-987837 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 00:53:29 +0000 deerylou 987837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, today I had some sudden success with my supply, and was able to give DD 75% of her feedings with breastmilk. After one of her breastmilk bottles, she had a very watery bowel movement - basically just yellow liquid. Since she's been formula fed, her poop has been much thicker and darker in color. </p> <p>Should I be concerned, or is this normal? Should I be worried that this is diarrhea? Her urination patterns haven't changed, and she's without fever or extreme fussiness. I feel so bad for flip flopping around between formula and breast milk, as I slave away, working through my supply issues. I hope in not completely ruining her tummy! </p>
