Green stool?

Question

So I breastfeed my daughter an her poo has never been green before , can anyone give any insight on this or any advice tips ? Is this normal? Etc

Answer

It could be she gets too much foremilk (the lighter milk that comes first) and not enough hindmilk (the fatter milk that comes later). If this is the case you have to try to make her eat for longer periods or try to pump a little before feeding her.

Answer

I’m pretty sure the only reason you would really need to be concerned about green poop is if that was the only color she was having for a while. Every once in a while is OK and there are lots of different colors poop that babies have. If she’s having a lot of green poop all the time then I would keep her on one breast longer especially if you have been switching sides when she comes off. To help her get more of the hindmilk you can always burp her and if she still wants more latch her  on the same breast and then switch sides the next time.

Answer

That is normal
