Green Poop????

Alyssa102

My baby is pooping out what looks like relish...has anyone had any experience with this?

I looked up online possibilities, but before I call the doc. I just wanted to ask if anyone else's baby has had green relishy looking poops?

Do you FF or BF?

Pretty much anything goes for a newborn when it comes to poop.  Our dr told us the only time to be really concerned was if she wasn't pooping or if they were grey.

If you BF it usually means not enough hind milk.  Massage your breast while BFing next time to get more hind milk and keep LO on the same side for the feeding.  green poop is not something to really worry about.

My LO had and still had green poops sometimes, even had a little mucus look to it. I called my doc and she said that any poops that are "the color of the earth" are ok (yellow, brownish, green, orange [I've never seen an orange one yet]) so I think you are ok, Do you mean that it is similar to the color of relish or more the consistency and color?

Babycenter gives a pretty good run down on poops!

  This snippet below is for breastfed babies....not sure what you give LO BM or F....but here is what I found.

"There are many shades of normal when it comes to breastfed poop. One you might see is a greener hue, which could signify that you ate something different than you normally do. If your baby isn't experiencing any other symptoms, there's no need to worry.

If you see bright green and frothy poop in your baby's diaper, almost like algae, she's probably getting too much foremilk ? the low-calorie milk that comes first in a feeding ? and not enough hindmilk, the higher-fat, super-nutritious stuff. It could mean that you're not feeding her long enough on each breast. To remedy this, start each feeding on the breast you ended on."
