My son never had diaper rash so I am flying blind here. I have been sticking with just coconut oil and it seems to be doing the trick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/green-newborn-poop-1#post-2848919 Wed, 03 Oct 2018 12:11:16 +0000 kiddosc 2848919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both of my kids had green poop for most of their infancy, but no other symptoms of discomfort. The ped wasn't concerned so we just ran with it. I've always aquaphor for any and all rashes and had them clear up right away. Using max strength butt paste, coconut oil, and mustela micellar water sounds like maybe too much on her new baby skin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/green-newborn-poop-1#post-2848870 Wed, 03 Oct 2018 09:05:15 +0000 psw27 2848870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is what happened when my milk was imbalanced, as others said. More block nursing should clear it up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/green-newborn-poop-1#post-2848854 Wed, 03 Oct 2018 08:03:08 +0000 jennlin821 2848854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also noticed that DD's poops were green when I ate a lot of green vegetables! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/green-newborn-poop-1#post-2848822 Wed, 03 Oct 2018 01:33:17 +0000 Kemma 2848822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes it can just be a developmental thing that baby will grow out of as the gut matures. If Baby is otherwise happy then I wouldn’t be too concerned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/green-newborn-poop-1#post-2848798 Tue, 02 Oct 2018 20:39:25 +0000 crazydoglady 2848798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KT326: @Pollywog: @jape14: @turquoisemama: Thank you! I was reading that babies react differently to breastmilk imbalances which may explain why I didn't have it with my son. I will stick with block feeding and try the Burts Bees cream. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/green-newborn-poop-1#post-2848784 Tue, 02 Oct 2018 19:39:22 +0000 jape14 2848784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Seconding block feeding. And I agree that Burt's Bees is the best diaper rash cream. It works for our LO better than triple paste, and it's way cheaper! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/green-newborn-poop-1#post-2848783 Tue, 02 Oct 2018 19:27:24 +0000 turquoisemama 2848783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@crazydoglady: That happened to both of my girls around that age. I think it was a foremilk issue and it did come and go periodically. As for the rash, Burt’s Bees is the absolute best rash cream I’ve tried. It’s extremely thick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/green-newborn-poop-1#post-2848781 Tue, 02 Oct 2018 19:21:43 +0000 Pollywog 2848781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@crazydoglady: that's a foremilk inbalance. If you block feed it'll resolve itself in a few days </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/green-newborn-poop-1#post-2848766 Tue, 02 Oct 2018 18:44:07 +0000 pachamama 2848766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son has this off and on. I think I might have read it could be too much foremilk and not enough hindmilk? Wasn't anything severe and he doesn't have any allergies or sensitivities to anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/green-newborn-poop-1#post-2848764 Tue, 02 Oct 2018 18:35:26 +0000 KT326 2848764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@crazydoglady: both my breastfed newborns had frothy poop, especially at times where they seemed extra gassy. Seedy is good! Hopefully the combo you are using clears it up quickly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/green-newborn-poop-1#post-2848763 Tue, 02 Oct 2018 18:32:02 +0000 crazydoglady 2848763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KT326: I am using max strength butt paste, coconut oil, and mustela micellar water. I didn't notice the rash until this morning.<br /> @JJ2626: She definitely seems normal and unfazed by it.<br /> @Pollywog: More frothy or seedy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/green-newborn-poop-1#post-2848759 Tue, 02 Oct 2018 18:16:02 +0000 JJ2626 2848759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Green poop is normal in a breast fed baby! We had bad diaper rash around 3 weeks too. Desitin really thick got rid of it in a few days. I felt awful but she didn’t seem all that bothered by it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/green-newborn-poop-1#post-2848751 Tue, 02 Oct 2018 17:52:03 +0000 Pollywog 2848751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it mucousy? Any blood or black specs? If so it could be a dairy issue </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/green-newborn-poop-1#post-2848749 Tue, 02 Oct 2018 17:51:25 +0000 KT326 2848749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@crazydoglady: The rash would bother me more than the green poop. Our pediatrician said breastfed baby poop can be any shade of green or yellow. </p> <p>We use triple paste for my youngest, it has been the only thing to clear up any diaper rash he has had. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/green-newborn-poop-1#post-2848740 Tue, 02 Oct 2018 17:10:56 +0000 crazydoglady 2848740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since this weekend, my 3 week old has had on and off green poop. Sometimes it is the consistency of the mustard-like poop (but green) and then she just had a very frothy green poop. It feels like she is constantly pooping, but it's at regular intervals, so I am not sure I would call it diarrhea. I am trying to make sure I just feed from one breast to make sure she's getting the hind milk, too. She also has a pretty bad diaper rash. I never had this with my son...any insights or advice? Should I call the pediatrician? </p>
