My 17th month old has a cold right now and has had a few green poops in there. I just assumed it was from the snot. The only other times he had green poop was from blueberries and too much foremilk when he was little and nursing.

PS. I would keep monitoring his temp and behavior and call your Dr if he does get a fever or starts to behave unusually. If not, I wouldn't worry if it's just the green poops.

M occasionally has green poop. I think it's due to a fore milk/hind milk imbalance. I've started block feeding her (only feeding her on one side per feeding) and usually if she's hungry within 2 hours of her last feed I'll put her back on that same boob. It's definitely helped. She's also been spitting up a lot, but it's because I have a forceful letdown so she'll start coughing/gagging because the milk comes out too fast. I've noticed it helps if I lean back while nursing and if I sit her more upright. Does he seem upset when he spits up? M is a "happy spitter."

@.twist.: I think as long as he is having a good number of wet diapers and doesn't seem upset when he spits up then you should be ok. Is he usually hungry after he spits up? M spits up but is usually hungry soon after. And sometimes her spit up seems like it was the entire feeding's worth. I think it looks like a lot more than it is when it's coming out of their little mouths.
