Sorry if this is the wrong place for my question, but I don't know where else to ask!
I am breastfeeding my 7 day old daughter, and her poo is still quite green although has become gritty. We've had too much weight loss by day 5 so were put on a feeding plan, which so far has resulted in static weight change over the past 48 hours - better than a loss, I guess
It's been explained that she's not getting enough fatty milk at the end of the feed, which explains the static weight and green poo
My question is whether the iron tablets I'm taking could make her poo discoloured? I've read in one place only this could be the case, but wondered if anyone out there has been on iron and had it effect their baby's poo. Mine is black (as expected)
Thanks x
