NCDR: Can we talk about (baby) poop?

RockiesNugget

LOs poop has been green, really green, and sticky for the past month. Initially assocated it with being on antibiotics, a resurrection of my fore-/hindmilkl imbalance, and possible milk intolerance. While it could still be any and all of the above, I am also wondering if this is just transition poop? It still comes off the diapers like EBF poop...

Note: He does BLW and still isn't super interested in food yet (therefore hasn't truly eaten much.)

When we BLW it started off as EBF poop with chunks of food in it pretty much.

That is what I was thinking would happen, but then again I've never done this before so thought I should ask.

Not BLW (I am mashing the food and spoon feeding), but ditto above. DSs is still a mustard yellow. If your LOs poop is really green, it is likely from the issues you mentioned.

Thanks! I never thought I would care about poop so much.

We started supplementing with formula. Depending which formula we used greatly impacted the color of her poop and how formed/hard it was. I googled baby poop colors. Dark green can sometimes be a sign of a lot of iron, at least in formula fed babies....

Baby poops come in all colors. Anything except extremely pale/white poop is within the range of normal. At least that's what the internet has told me the many times I've googled it.
