Breastfeeding

Shiny looking poop?

DS's poop has changed in the past couple of days. For the first month, he pooped after each feeding, the seedy yellow poop.

This week, he has only pooped once a day, and it's been a huge amount, very liquidy, and almost shiny looking...not sure how else to describe it. It is still yellow and somewhat seedy. Normal?

I'm just a little concerned about the texture. I don't see any mucous, but I guess I'm not sure what that would look like. Can someone describe mucous?

He is eating and sleeping normally, and is as happy as can be.

Re: Shiny looking poop?

  • mucous will look like egg whites mixed in with the poop. You will usually get a fussy baby and potentially blood with it, so I wouldn't worry

    Poop is a weird thing.  It can look completely different just depending on what you eat.
