Poop....?

Question

My baby is 4 weeks old today ebf and the last two diapers her poop has had green in it. It’s mostly the normal yellow color but the “seedy” bits are green. Should I be concerned? This is my third baby, second time ebf and never experienced this. Of course I googled it and now I’m all worried there’s a fore milk/hind milk imbalance! 😐

Answer

I just went through this myself. My daughter's poop is still green at times, but her pediatrician said it was completely normal. For the foremilk/hindmilk imbalance, I can't say if it's that, but just have baby nurse longer on each breast and he or she should be getting enough hind milk. Once this happens, the poop will go back to the mustard yellow color

Answer

My son has had green poop a few times, also EBF. You can always ask your pediatrician but I wouldn't worry unless the poop is black or red, shades of green, yellow, and orange are all pretty normal.
