Diarrhea?

Question

Does this look like diarrhea? This is the normal color of her poop, but, I can’t tell if it looks watery or not like diarrhea? She is breastfed & she has pooped a total of 4 times since yesterday, which isn’t normal for her. She usually poops maybe once a week at most 3 times a week.. but she pooped twice yesterday & now twice today.. She doesn’t have a temp & the only thing different, is she has been a little fussy today.. should I call her on call nurse at her doctors office?

Answer

Honestly, it looks very similar to my LO’s poop (8 weeks old), but he usually has liquidy/mucusy poop and stools 3-4 times a day normally.  If this is a big change for your daughter, I would give the nurse line a ring (especially if she’s younger, you didn’t mention her age).  They may just say to keep monitoring for fever, behavior changes, pee diapers (make sure she’s not dehydrated), basically everything you’re already doing, but it doesn’t hurt to call.
Could it also be something new/different that you ate recently?  My LO’s poop will change color and runniness a little depending on my diet.
