Green poop

I recently switched DD to gentlease from infant. she is acting 100 times better she is sleeping longer and not screaming after every feeding but hey poops went from mustard color to green . Has this happened to anyone else and is it a big deal?



Sorry if it's a stupid question I'm a FTM and every thing still makes me nervous

Re: Green poop

  • I know that green poop is normal. Is it always green? If so, maybe call pedi and ask about it. I remember that sometimes green poop would indicate having an oversupply of breast milk. But that isn't the case with you. It could be her body getting used to the new food. If it last for a while, maybe call pedi, just to check.

  • The iron in the formula can make the poop green.  My kids all had green poop.  Once it was even bright green (like radioactive bright green) and the pedi said that was from bile but still nothing to worry about.

    Kelly, Mom to Christopher Shannon 9.27.06, Catherine Quinn 2.24.09, Trey Barton lost on 12.28.09, Therese Barton lost on 6.10.10, Joseph Sullivan 7.23.11, and our latest, Victoria Maren 11.15.12

    Secondary infertility success with IVF, then two losses, one at 14 weeks and one at 10 weeks, then success with IUI and then just pure, crazy luck.  Expecting our fifth in May as the result of a FET.

    This Cluttered Life

  • I formula feed my little guy and his poop is always green and yellow... from what I've read it's just because of the iron that is in his formula.  We use gerber good start: gentle but going to try soy next can just because the store was out of his kind
