Are you breastfeeding? It's normal for breastfed babies to have green poos on occasion, it's generally caused by wind, or by something you've eaten going thru her a bit too quickly via the breastmilk. Nothing to worry about unless she seems more upset or grumpy than usual.

Yup, I agree.
Hannah had some greenish poos at the exact same age - MW was quite happy that it was nothing but wind.
As Emma said, as long as she seems fine in herself and isn't in any discomfort, it's all good

Gosh for a while there I thought thats what they were meant to be with DD1

Usually wind related, maybe there's something different you have eaten thats affected the milk.....
With Maddi she would occasionally get the greens after I ate chocolate or cheese, and she would usually let me know she wasn't happy about it.

M's was green this morning. Even managed to smear it up her tummy, down her legs and up her back lol. It was so gross. She's FF but they vary in colour all the time.

Huge Congrats on Dusty's arrival. Hope it all went well. Tammy text me and emailed me the photos. Are you going to her farewell? I wont be able to make it.

hey girls thanks so much for ya help on this one, think it must be wind related as she always has blue lip and im constantly burping her(feels like all day) as i get super anxious about the 5pm witching hour (colic? psycho hour or 4) i have been eating the most bland food and changed diet heaps to see if it was just one thing.
she has started the inconsolable crying in the avos for a hour or more but i think thats normal aye?

hey dana thanks nah cant make tammys we are up north for a 103rd and 80th bdays so sucks we cant go.

Yeah the green poos can be wind related, which can mean your baby is getting too much foremilk. Your breasts are very full in the morning which means baby can get mostly the thin watery milk which = green poos. It doesn't harm your baby but if you are only getting green poos it means they can be missing out on the nice fatty hindmilk which gives them the growth they need.

So if your baby is gaining slowly you may want to consider block feeding which is only allowing one breast per meal and feeding from the same breast a few times in a row.

A baby who gets lots of foremilk and no hindmilk may be windy because the foremilk is very sweet and high in lactose which can cause a lactose overload and make their tummies sore.

I had the same issue when my wee chopper was little and my LC cleared it right up. She is awesome.

Your boobs are like a bottle of milk, overnight the milk separates and the fatty milk rises to the top and the thin milk is what baby gets first which is perfect as it quenches their thirst but if your baby doesn't empty the whole breast then they may have green poos in the morning.

Yep, I've been through that too, and I was told also that's its too much foremilk that causes it. I agree that you should try feeding off one breast for as long as possible before trying the other, then she'll get more of the fattier hind milk.
