I did block feeding the last few days and it hasn't made a difference so I'm leaning more towards the dairy issue.... She has gotten a little fussier over the last 24 hours, too.</p> <p>I'm seeing a lactation consultant today so hopefully they'll have some ideas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucous-in-newborns-diaper#post-405692 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 08:49:24 +0000 T.H.O.U. 405692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: Good luck. We had green poo for a while due to an imbalance. I just tried as best I could to make sure she finished each side before switching her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucous-in-newborns-diaper#post-405661 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 08:07:13 +0000 winniebee 405661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: If you are pumping and giving pumped milk, she should have a good balance! At first, I thought the green poo was an oversupply issue (which I DID have) but the green poo only went away when I went off dairy.</p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucous-in-newborns-diaper#post-404423 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 22:11:33 +0000 travelgirl1 404423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks ladies, I knew you'd all have some good advice!</p> <p>Her diapers are back to normal today but I've cut down on my dairy consumption significantly. @Mrs. Superhero: Thanks so much for this, I'm really wondering if this is the case with me. Because she's getting so much pumped breastmilk she might be getting lots of foremilk, so I might try breastfeeding right after pumping so in theory all that would be left would be hindmilk...</p> <p>I'm seeing a lactation consultant again on Monday so will mention it to them too.</p> <p>Ahhhh I can't wait until I have more of a clue what to do with a baby!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucous-in-newborns-diaper#post-404334 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 19:58:47 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 404334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My ped said dairy allergies too....it all went away after I removed dairy from my diet:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucous-in-newborns-diaper#post-403882 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 10:51:50 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 403882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wonder Baby had poop like that when I had an oversupply: <a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2012/08/22/too-much-of-a-good-thing-or-dealing-with-an-oversupply/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2012/08/22/too-much-of-a-good-thing-or-dealing-with-an-oversupply/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucous-in-newborns-diaper#post-403824 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 10:00:33 +0000 winniebee 403824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son's poop didn't turn green/mucousy until around 7 weeks, but soon thereafter had some blood in his poop and was diagnosed with a dairy intolerance.</p> <p>FYI make sure to read all labels (there is hidden dairy in so much) and be sure to eliminate butter too. </p> <p>My doctor doubted it at first, but then I re-introduced dairy around 4 months and he immediately had blood in his stool again. Our GI specialist does not think that he has a soy intolerance, but we put him on Nutramigen since 4.5 months and he's responded very well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucous-in-newborns-diaper#post-403786 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 09:04:20 +0000 Mrs.M57 403786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Echoing a few other posters my dd had it and had dairy intolerance as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucous-in-newborns-diaper#post-403709 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 06:26:49 +0000 brownie 403709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sons poop was never right and he has MSPI but he screamed. So, it sounds like you have a few options. You can stop eating dairy products (please don't substitute with soy, up to 70% of babies who don't tolerate milk also don't tolerate soy. I made this mistake). It takes about 2 weeks to see results. Personally this was relatively easy and safe for me. You can see a doctor or lactation aid and see if they can help and if it may be a foremilk issue. We also did some block feeding to see if that helped. </p> <p>My doctor personally had no experience with milk intolerance and still won't accept that he has it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucous-in-newborns-diaper#post-403658 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 03:49:14 +0000 Mrs.B 403658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD had the same thing and she has a dairy allergy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucous-in-newborns-diaper#post-403654 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 03:18:35 +0000 gracecat 403654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I heard greenish poop means not enough hind milk but not sure about mucous... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucous-in-newborns-diaper#post-403648 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 02:47:40 +0000 travelgirl1 403648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: she's not particularly fussy and she doesn't seem in pain but dairy was first thing I thought of.</p> <p>@leelee: I think it was in the poop and the poop was a different colour. Good point though, she was one of those babies who had a little period thanks to hormones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucous-in-newborns-diaper#post-403646 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 02:28:54 +0000 leelee 403646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Silly question but do you know if it is coming from her vaginal area? DD had this around the same time and the Dr told is it was just a result of the hormones in the breast milk . DD is now 4 months and still has it from time to time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucous-in-newborns-diaper#post-403642 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 02:01:51 +0000 banana 403642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my son had the same thing and it was dairy allergies. try removing dairy for a week and see what happens. is ur baby fussy or uncomfortable? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucous-in-newborns-diaper#post-403640 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 01:51:58 +0000 travelgirl1 403640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 10 day old baby has had mucous in her last 2 diapers and the poop has been a kind of greeny brown colour. She's on 100 % breast milk, some pumped. I'm wondering if it could be a dairy intollerance... There's lots of it in my family. No other symptoms other than a diaper rash. Do you think I should call her doctor in the morning? </p>
