Newborn poop slightly green in color?

Question

My 12 day old baby's poop has gone from yellow to this light greenish color. Also appears that there is some mucus in it and the diaper smells sweet. Is this normal? Should I call the pediatrician?

Answer

Is your baby breastfed? Green can indicate a fore milk hind milk imbalance. Make sure baby fully empties each breast 😊

Answer

Try pumping off some of the fore milk so baby gets more of the fattier hind milk. Not only will it help relieve some pressure off the boob making it easier for baby to feed t also will help baby get and feel fuller longer. Poop will go back to yellow as well!

Answer

My breastfed baby has yellow green poop

Answer

Do you breast or bottle feed?
