Why is her poop so frotty?

Question

Hi mamas,
Why is my almost 3 weeks old poop looking like this? 
This is my second baby but my first-born was formula fed so I'm clueless.

Answer

That does look frothy. Try feeding on one side longer. I usually do 2-3 feedings on one side before switching to the next. If that doesn’t help you might want to see if your diet is transferring any allergen proteins through your milk to baby. Check out freetofeed.com, lots of good info on food allergens if that’s the case.

Answer

It looks normal to me. I think too much forMilk usually means a different color. Any chance you’re taking supplements? I took a probiotic with my second and noticed his poo changed thinner and frothier when I did. I made sure to drink lots more fluids. You’re doing great! I’d also say if baby isn’t super fussy it’s probably fine!

Answer

It doesn’t look super frothy to me. It looks pretty normal.
The cause for frothy milk is too much foremilk. Make sure babe empties the breast before offering the other side. Do not time feeds.

Answer

I agree it doesn’t look so frothy, but very thin. My kids all had poos like this. They went away when I took them off dairy (and soy for my third). It can be a symptom of Cow’s Milk Protein Allergy/Intolerance

Answer

Too much foremilk. Try feeding from one breast longer to get to the hind milk
