Pumpkin colored poops?

Sorry if TMI =) The colors changed as they were supposed to from black tar to yellow/green but the last few days they've been orangey/pumpkin. Normal? I'm BF if that makes a diff.

  • Mustardy Yellow is what the goal is if you're BF'ing...sounds normal to me.

  • totally normal. DS's poop changed to pumpkin colored around the same time as your LO. I asked his pedi and he informed me that it can change a few times...but as long as it's not hard you're fine.
  • Is it curdy or seedy as well, or is it straight liquid?  Right around 2 weeks with our LO, I noticed orange liquid...it wasn't seedy or curdy anymore and the LC and pedi told us it was a foremilk/hindmilk imbalance issue.  I was feeding for 10 mins on each side instead of feeding on one side at a time to let the breast empty completely which resulted in weird poops because she wasn't getting enough of the fatty hindmilk. 

    Are you feeding on one side at a time?  If not, try that and you should notice a difference in a day or two.

  • we have tons of those. very normal.
  • My pedi told me that LO's were orange-juice-colored because I was eating raw carrots - are you eating any carrots? (She said they'd turn bright green if I ate peas).
