I have a (baby) poop question :(

I can't believe I'm worried about this, but DH is freaked so now I'm wondering.

I know that frothy or mucousy green poop is foremilk/hindmilk imbalance or a possible virus.

What about green and seedy? Just another case of the weird? Something to call the pedi over tomorrow?

FWIW, she's growing like a freaking weed, if that makes any difference.

Seedy is normal.

Green is maybe sour belly. Is she having more than one green poop? But green is normal, too

seedy poop is normal in BF'd baby's. I think you are fine!

Sometimes it's yellow, sometimes it's greenish yellow.

As of 8 tonight, she's been nursing for 25 hours with no more than 2 hours between session starts, and the most recent one (that freaked out M) was green "with a yellow undertone."

I don't want to resort to a google image search. But I might Embarrassed

Totally fine

Have you had any neon green ones yet? They're fun. ::off to look at baby poop photos::

seedy is very normal. bf poop often looks like grainy/seedy mustard. the green is likely from foremilk. my sil, who is a gp, swears to me that basically anything goes with BF poo, including mucus, other than the normal things you always think of as bad w/ poop - blood, black, white, too hard/constipation or too loose/diarrhea (and frankly, the only thing that differentiates diarrhea in newborns to me is frequency. It's always loose!).

Thanks women. I think I'm going to keep block feeding since it's only been a day, and stop looking at that slide show, and not pull out that diaper from the wet bag to look at it, and stop worrying about foremilk and hindmilk and lactose intolerance and just tell myself over and over that she's just having a fussy bad day (or growth spurt) and is actually fine. :::deep breath::: I'm going to go try to pass out.
