Drastic poop changes?

Hi Ladies,

I'd like your input.  From about 2 weeks old until 11 weeks, my DD only pooped once a day, and it was the typical breastfed poop - mustardy with seed-like bits.  Suddenly on Monday (11 weeks old) she is pooping 6+ times during the day and it is green like pesto.  No fever or vomiting though.  I started her on Pedialyte at the Doc's recommendation on Tuesday (it seemed like diarrhea and I feared dehydration), but no changes.  After 2 days on the Pedialyte, I called the doc back to report that it is all the same.  She told me to  take DD off of the Pedialyte and that this is normal for a breastfed baby, and maybe it was something I ate.  Should something I ate show up in her poop for five days straight?!?  Do any of your breastfed babies poop this much?

  • Hmm...DS pooping  habits was going once every few  days up until a week ago. Now for the past week he has been going several times a day. It finally slowed down to where he hasn't gone today.

  • Wow - my babe (12 weeks) has been doing the exact same thing for the past few days.  Going from pooping once a day or two to green poop all the time - like a newborn!  Will be interested to hear what other people have to say about this one.
