Breastfeed Baby Poop..??

Question

So my son is a week old. I have exclusively breastfeed him since birth. His poop is not seedy. It was loose and the last day or two kind of mucusy looking. It's not a lot either. Just a little bit at a time. I called pediatrician Tuesday when it was just loose stool. The nurse I talked to said the loose stool was normal for being breastfeed but again said its usually seedy which my son's hasn't been. Now its mucusy looking. He's eating and peeing. No signs of sickness; no fever or vomiting, very alert when awake. Should I be worried? Or call the dr again?

Answer

That looks like my LO's did for a little while. He's almost 6 weeks old and it's just now getting seedy. Probably about 4 and a half weeks it got seedy. As long as he eats, pees and poops enough, and is acting normal, I wouldn't worry.

Answer

That looks like normal newborn poop. It will turn bright green when breastfeeding if he is getting more foremilk in a feeding and less of the fatty, hindmilk. Try nursing longer on one breast at each feeding and you should see that resolve to the yellow-seedy poops fairly quickly.

Best of luck and congratulations on your new bundle of joy! 😍
