Please help is this normal?

Question

My son is 8 weeks old and EBF i cut dairy out 3 weeks ago it did seem to help but now his stools are mostly mucus he sounds like he has a lot in his throat and spits up mucus so wondering if hes just swallowing a lot or if he possibly has an allergy to another thing like eggs soy gluten idek... anyway does this look ok or no?

Answer

Do you have a large milk supply? This happens to my baby too. Mucusy seeming poop can be from too much foremilk which is the sugary thin milk that comes out first. The hindmilk is second and is fattier and more filling. If you have a lot of milk baby can get full off the foremilk before reaching the hindmilk. This causes the mucusy stools. If this is your case try to pump a little bit before feeding baby so they can get some of the hind milk too. Or you can pump after baby eats to get the hind milk and feed with a bottle next feeding. Though there's nothing thats really negative, it's not hurting your baby. My first born was like that for a long time and he's always been super healthy and smart!

Holy cow that’s a lot of poop! 😂 color looks fine to me

Answer

I am also dairy free and my daughter’s breastfed stools look like this. It can take a long time for the dairy to completely leave our system (over a month). The stool looks normal though, so don’t stress!

Answer

Looks like my LO's... When I told the pediatrician, she was not concerned since he was gaining weight and continues to have wet and poopy diapers. Also, seedy diapers only last for a few weeks with breast fed babies.

Answer

Colour wise it looks normal but that looks super watery to me. Not really seedy like they say bf babies should be but hey contact the pediatrician and find out for sure.

Answer

Answer
