what could be causing orange foamy poop

Question

My 5 week old has had orange foamy poop  Since yesterday, which just so happened to be when I started pumping and storing. I'm not sure if her poop is like this due to me pumping or what foods I'm eating. Has anybody experienced this and what could be causing this? Her diapers aren't absorbing the poo fast enough and it will leak down the sides.

Answer

I can't offer much, I have never heard of orange foamy. If it has only happened once I would say it's likely from something you are.

Answer

Could be caused by oversupply? Or foremilk/hindmilk imbalance. Try block feeding. (Restricting baby to one boob for 3+ hours, Then switching to the other boob)

Answer

Occasionally if I eat certain foods my EBF babies poop will be bright orange instead of the normal yellow, mustardy color. My Dr said it's normal, might just be what you ate. If it continues or turns redder, I would call your Pediatrician :)
