My 3 and a half week old had a small green poop that looks like a booger. Should I be concerned?

Question

Answer

Lo might be getting more foremilk I started pumping the foremilk out and dumping a min or two in each breast before I feed my LO to get the hindmilk and her poops went back to the brownish color

Answer

That looks like mucus. Green mucus stool is usually a sign of an allergy.

Answer

My LO started having these and only these up to 7 a day. My ped tested it for microscopic blood and it was positive. Turns out she is allergic to eggs so I had to cut it out of my diet. However, I had also read that Green poop can happen with infants who are EBF if they are getting too my foremilk and not enough hindmilk. To fix this they recommend letting your LO finish the breast you start on before switching to the other.

Answer

Forgot to mention I'm breastfeeding exclusively.

Answer

Breastfeeding or formula?
