Help! Strange color in newborn diaper?!

Question

I have a newborn baby girl 3.5 days old. I changed her diaper because she has peed but saw this brownish yellow thing. What is it? Is she okay?

Answer

Sometimes baby girls can pass abit of blood in their nappies due to hormones after birth. Especially when breast fed. Note it, keep and eye on it and if it progresses then call your doctor

Answer

It does look like brick dust. If it's just the one diaper like that and baby has a good amount of wet diapers then no worries. The system is still getting flushed out. If there are more of those and baby seems fussy and unsatisfied, baby may need more milk than your supplying in these first days.

Answer

Looks like brick dust. Urine crystals. Consider topping up with formula if you're breastfeeding.

Answer

Are you breast feeding? Looks like a small amount of poop.. my daughter does that sometimes when she has gas. Her poop is a mustard yellow color.
