Green poo?

Question

The last few days we have had a couple of diapers that have had some green mixed in with the normal yellow color poop. Is this normal? I EBF and his poop has been pure yellow since 4 days old so anything different makes me a little worrywart (of course haha).

Answer

Was it foamy green? If it's foamy and green it means baby is getting too much foremilk and needs to feed longer on each side to get the fatty hindmilk. If it's just green, it could be something you ate.

Answer

I think it's an imbalance of fore/hindmilk. I can't remember which right now but if you look it up one of the side effects was green poo

Answer

I've always been told it should be yellow green or brown. My son's is usually greenish or yellow but it fluctuates. It's not something to be concerned about

Answer

I've read that newborn poop can be any color from orange to yellow to green if they're breastfeeding. My daughters tends to be yellowish orange all the time.
