My LO's poop is always runny but since he is only fed breastmilk, isn't that what is expected? I don't think their poop is supposed to 'harden' at all until they start solids...

My 11 week old always has runny poop but she is mainly breastfed and I was told that was normal. I'm think its diarrhea if they are constantly pooping; its more about frequency rather than the consistency?

My son had a stomach but this winter, the stool was very different than those early breastfed stools.

@regberadaisy: You have to trust your mommy instincts. I know I was told that breastfed babies can't be constipated. My baby was constipated. He would go a week or more and then he would have 5 movements in a day going from brown to green (or bright neon orange) and super runny kinda like egg whites. So he would go from constipated to diahhrea.

If you think something is wrong, don't take no as answer. See your doctor. You can try something like changing formula or removing foods from your diet (you should probably consult her doctor but I didn't). Give it 2 weeks and see if there is improvement.
