Exclusively Breastfed baby poop looking brown? I've been trying to look up if this is normal, but can't find any info on it... it's usually much more yellow. Baby girl is 8 weeks old.

Question

Answer

I would call your pedi and ask. How long has it been happening? It can be an imbalance in the foremilk and hindmilk your baby has been getting or a sensitivity to something you're eating. It's not normal but don't worry about it unless it's been going in for 4-5 days without going back to yellow.

Answer

My son has that from time to time. It's either too much foremilk and not enough hind or something you ate. Your lo will be fine 😊 if it's more than a day then keep an eye on it. My lc said it's common and somewhat normal.

Answer

Is she having a hard time pooping? Most likely it'll be something you ate. I breastfeed my baby too and every time I eat something I normally don't then her poop changes completely. It's not a bad thing. And brown poop is normal. It's only not normal if it's black or almost clear. My lactation consultant gave me a brochure all about it, I'll try and find it and upload it for you. But also if she keeps pooping like that for awhile then just contact her doctor to make sure she's not having anything serious otherwise it seems pretty normal to me.

Answer

By any chance are you giving iron drops?? That could change the color, also blood in stool would change the color. If it's the latter I'd go see the Dr.
