Green Poo??

Ok so this is my first EBF baby. I pump for her till I’m empty almost every session. My milk generally gets mixed from each session so I would think she’s getting plenty of foremilk and hindmilk. But maybe not? She regularly has dark green, light green poops. Some tan but mostly has green ones of varying degrees.

I take herbal supplements (Legendary Milk) but I recently ran out and they’re still the same color.

I don’t have any restrictions in my diet and according to her visit with my midwife yesterday she’s gaining about a 1/2oz a day. So a little on the lower side I guess. But other then that she seems happy and healthy. Maybe gas a few times a day but she’s bottle fed and greedy lol!

Should I be worried at all? I’ve also read on KellyMom that maybe that fore and hind milk balance is a myth?? I’m confused lol!

I know green poo is “normal” but to what degree I don’t know! Thanks mommas!

How old is baby? Green poop is normally a sign that she’s having more of your fore milk than the hind milk. It can also indicate that baby might be coming down with something.

If your worried about your babies health is take her to see someone but if this has been for a while I’d go on Tuesday and they can just give you some advice. If she seems off or ill then I wouldn’t wait x

Are you in the uk or us? Here in the uk we have breastfeeding buddy groups. They can help you a lot. Where ever you are put on google breastfeeding group near me and it will tell you the closest

Green is ok. The only bad colors for baby poop are red, white and black.
