Frequent green poos

My dd is 24 weeks old and e bf. For the past 2 weeks she has gone from one poo a day to as many as 6 or 7. They are quite often green with what looks like bits of spinach in them (if that makes sense!) and sometimes quite mucousy She is perfectly happy in herself and it doesn't seem to bother her at all. Any idea why this has started happening? Also today I tried her on some food as she kept trying to pinch stuff off my plate. She ate the lot quite happily but it all seemed to come out of her 3 hours later. Is this normal? At first I wasnt too concerned about it but it seems to be going on for quite a while. any advice gratefully received!

This happened to my DD a few weeks ago, and lasted a couple of weeks. Like your DD, she was going several times a day and getting a bit sore with it. It crossed my mind it was a touch of diarrhoea but she was otherwise well, happy, I was feeding normally (EBF).
It's gone back to normal now, and to normal once-a-day frequency. I have no idea what caused it!!

iirc 2 things can cause green poos could be 1. too much foremilk or 2. a virus so tummy bug, cold. Obv if it's a cold they swallow mucous making poos mucousy.
