help! poop change!

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months
My baby is fed both formula and breast milk from bottles, with an occasional nursing session. Weve had this routine for 2 and a half weeks now. last night her poop had a little bit of a different consistency mixed in with her normal yellow seedy poop. We just woke up to a diaper full of the different poop. It's still yellowish, but was mucusy or stringy, looked like ricotta cheese and has a super strong odor. Additionally she hasn't taken very much formula at her last couple of feedings. She normally has 3 or 4oz every 3 hours and she's only taken 1 or 2oz the last 2 or 3 feedings.

These are the things that were different yesterday...
1. She had 2 breast milk bottles in a row. Typically she has one in the morning and one in the evening. That's all I can produce.
2. I upped my fenugreek dose from 1220mg to 3660mg.

Any ideas? Not sure if I should leave a message at the doctor's tomorrow...

    My 6 week old is also getting both formula and breastmilk. He's been on formula too now, for about a week or so. Before the formula it was runny, and seedy. And when i couldn't pump for a few days his poop was no longer runny. Now his diaper gets full about once or twice a day. It actually smells now. And is both runny ish, but not as runny as when he was just breastfed. If your daughters not eating very much i would leave the doc a message. Everything sounds normal to me, besides the not eating very much part.

    And i just saw that your LO is 3 weeks, my son was eating only about 2 ounces every 3 hours at 3 weeks, he's up to 6 ounces now ever 4 or 5 hours. So it actually does sound pretty normal.

    If it's mucousy, call the doc. And be prepared to describe it, and if possible, save one of the diapers, especially if it continues. My son had mucousy poop at 4 days old, turned out he had a milk protien allergy. It could be a food allergy, something you ate maybe since he had more breastmilk closer together.

    As long as she's having ENOUGH diapers, then I wouldn't worry.  I was told by our pedi that poop can change color and consistency without a need to worry.  Only worry if it's white, black, or red.
