Mucous-y poop

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

Ok so, I know that one of the tell tale signs that a baby is not tollerating a formula or something in mom's bm is mucousy poop.  We started supplementing 2 feedings a day w/ formula (Similac Advance) a week ago. I thought it was going great, no fussiness, no gas, no poop issues until today...

In addition to popping 3 times today (quite a bit for her), in her last dirty diaper I noticed what I can only describe as looking like a big clear booger!  Is this what is meant by mucousy? 

So confused.....TIA =)

    Yes, that's exactly how I would describe it. A giant, stringy booger. But I thought mucus poop = virus?

    yea that sounds about right. DD had that when she first started this head cold, and its exactly how you say. i agree with Chal though i thought that only equaled sick?

    Ok, glad I wasn't nutso with the booger reference!  Your link made me think tho...."geen" poop, how green is green?  I think her poop today had a greenish tint but I feel as though it has quite often in the past too, so maybe I am misinterpreting "green"

    motherhood has made me ponder the wierdest things....le sigh 

    Oh and perhaps I was mistaken on the mucous = intolerance thing, here's hoping you are right.  Not that a virus is good but...well hopefully you see my point

    I think by worrisome "green" they mean like grass green. Yellowish-green is normal.
