BFing and poop question

Michelley1210

Hi...

 I'm an EBF....

I"m worried....my DD has been gassy and had green poop for a couple of days now.  My midwife started me on a B-100 Complex to improve mood and energy...and I noticed that DD got more gassy and her poop changed then.  I stopped the vitamin..so I am hoping it is that.

 

But I've also been reading up about foremilk/hindmilk issues.

 

Does anyone have thoughts on this?  Any help is appreciated....thanks!

Hi - I definitely had some problems with different supplements (fennugreek, iron supplements), and stopping them cut down the gas. ?

I also have oversupply issues, and DD always has a green poop when she has gotten too much foremilk. ?As time goes by, we have less and less oversupply issues. ?In fact, now that DD has started solids, her poop is rainbow colored!?

Jacob had some green poo issues last week and I made the switch to feeding one boob per feeding so that he gets mostly hindmilk.  So, I feed for 10 minutes on the left, burp and go back to that same breast for the next 10 minutes.  It was a bit painful in the beginning to train my body, but it has worked.  His poo is back to being yellow and seedy.
