Fenugreek changes babys poop?

I started fenugreek and my son started getting fussy, a little more gassy, and green poop. Will this pass or should I discontinue?

Re: Fenugreek changes babys poop?

  • I am getting Fenugreek in the mothers milk tea...made a huge jug of sun tea with it. Haven't seen any changes in poop

  • I'm using fenugreek capsules and havent noticed any changes for baby, but my milk supply does seem to have increased!
  • It's not the fenugreek, that's just coincidental timing. Sounds like baby has a dairy sensitivity. Eliminate dairy completely from your diet and baby's poop should turn back to yellow. Takes about 2 weeks for it to leave your system and to notice the change but it makes a huge difference!
  • My doctor told me green "swampy" poop indicated the baby wasn't getting enough hind milk.

  • ^^ this. Try making sure baby is feeding for at least 15 mins at each feed so they get the high calorie hind milk and see if that changes it. Also if you change breasts half way through a feed try to empty one breast at a time.
