My baby's poop was orange(DH commented it resembled butternut squash) when he was 6 and 7 days old.  We had him at the pedi for a checkup at 7 days and he saw his poop and wasn't concerned.  It went back to yellow the next day.

My baby's poop is occaissonally orange or green. It always goes back to normal

DS's poop goes back and forth between yellow and orangish.

Orange is fine. Green for an extended time can mean too much foremilk.

My baby's poop is always orange.  I'll never be able to enjoy butternut squash soup again.  It's normal to my knowledge.

My DS's had been orange this week but he is on an antibiotic so i am attributing it to that

DS's poop has always been orange.  He is EBF as well.
