But, it would always go back to the normal brown poop, so I didn't worry too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfed-baby-poop-question-1#post-1094348 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 09:16:41 +0000 Silva 1094348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have had a bit of a poop obsession in our house. My daughter is 5 months old. She typically poops 3-4 times a day. The afternoon poops are usually green and very mucousy. She has even occasionally had a tiny drop of blood. When she was 2 months old she did get diarrhea and the was the color of Mountain Dew and very liquidy.<br /> So, I have adjusted feedings to try to fix a hind milk/foremilk imbalance, and eliminated dairy and saw no change. I was at the dr on Monday with more poop concerns. They basically said, your baby is growing well, happy, and healthy. Some babies just poop weird and we don't know why.<br /> So I could probably eliminate wheat, soy, etc. and see a change because I'm guessing its some mild sensitivity. But the point would just be to see different poops. She is thriving,so I'm trying to let it go and stop obsessing about her bowel movements.</p> <p>Basically, if babe is bothered by it (uncomfortable, not growing, etc) then there are lots of things to try. If babe seems fine, try not to worry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfed-baby-poop-question-1#post-1094330 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 09:08:37 +0000 edelweiss 1094330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>when my LO's poop was green during the first few months, i was all worried after having read so much information on foremilk/hindmilk imbalance, allergies, etc. however when i asked my pediatrician about it, she said said green to yellow to orange is normal, you just don't want white, black or red. also, if your LO seems fine, then i wouldn't worry about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfed-baby-poop-question-1#post-1094307 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 09:03:46 +0000 Adira 1094307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Xander's poop ranges from neon orange to dark green and all the colors in between! He seems totally fine, so I haven't been concerned. I think you're probably okay! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfed-baby-poop-question-1#post-1094246 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 08:44:43 +0000 Corduroy 1094246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: Don't freak yourself out about not changing her quick enough. It sounds like you're plenty interested in her poop so I doubt you're letting her stew. I'd go with the Kellymom information. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfed-baby-poop-question-1#post-1093695 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 21:26:47 +0000 Anagram 1093695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks all! It seems others have experienced this, but now I'm horrified that it may be because I'm not changing her quick enough? <a href="http://forums.llli.org/showthread.php?15255-Green-Chopped-spinach-like-poop" rel="nofollow">http://forums.llli.org/showthread.php?15255-Green-Chopped-spinach-like-poop</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfed-baby-poop-question-1#post-1093361 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 18:31:28 +0000 Corduroy 1093361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went through this for 2-3 weeks when LO had a bad cold.

I eat a lot of spinach and cabbage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfed-baby-poop-question-1#post-1093139 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 16:08:39 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1093139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That article is right on. Unless you're eating a ton of spinach or other dark leafy greens everyday, it shouldn't usually be green. I would look into foremilk imbalance or food allergies if it's something that's consistently going on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfed-baby-poop-question-1#post-1093126 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 16:01:11 +0000 StrawberryBee 1093126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no experience and am no expert, but I found this?:</p> <p><a href="http://kellymom.com/health/baby-health/m2m-green-stools/" rel="nofollow">http://kellymom.com/health/baby-health/m2m-green-stools/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfed-baby-poop-question-1#post-1093035 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 15:15:07 +0000 Anagram 1093035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't know what category to put this question in....</p> <p>My EBF babies poops are frequently so dark green it's almost the color of cooked spinach. And sometimes it looks like it has cooked spinach in it. Other times its yellow or yellow brown.</p> <p>I pump and bottle feed (mostly. We still bf occasionally), so I'm thinking it can't be a foremilk/hindmilk issue because I put whatever I pump from one breast into the bottle and she finishes it.</p> <p>Is this still in the realm of normal? She doesn't seem to be particularly gassy or fussy, so I'm not really worried about health, just curious. </p>
