Normal Poop?

Question

Hi ladies. My beautiful Evelyn is 3 days old. Due to technical difficulties, we switched to formula feeding today...please no comments on this.
Hubby just changed her diaper and get poop looked like this:

It looks like it has bubbles in it. Is this normal?
We see her pediatrician later today. (Its 3:35 am here). And I will share the pic with him also.

Answer

Hey don't fe bad not breastfeeding. Your child has a full tummy and that's the main thing. I who breastfed exclusively would NEVER comment on formula fed babies or mums who made that choice negatively. I know how hard it can be at times especially at the beginning. Good that you made that choice to make your child feel full. As for poop.. I have no idea. I know its black at first and mine had just light yellow brown poop.. BUT I would say it's normal as long as its not green. I know green like full on spinach green is a no no sign!

Answer

Hard to tell from the picture but the bubbles you’re seeing look like our little girl’s normal poo! Our doctor describes it as looking like little seeds rather than bubbles but totally normal. Our pedi actually asks if her poo is seedy as a positive sign that it’s normal. And don’t feel bad at all about formula feeding! Our hospital pushes breastfeeding so hard that I felt so down when I couldn’t. You’re nugget is getting nourishment, no matter how! You’re doing great, Momma. 💖

Answer

Absolutely nothing wrong with formula feeding! Baby is getting fed and that’s all that matters!
Yes, completely normal poop. My son and daughter both had quite a few like that when they were that age.  As poster above said - unless it’s green then there are no issues 😊
