Green, often very watery. Occasionally less green and more like paste and rarely these days yellow, scrambled egg/mustard seed effect. Green watery poos 3-4 times a day. Been like this on and off for a couple of months, hv didn't seem particularly bothered but I think it's not right. She's well in herself, dropped off percentile but good weight, generally fairly happy & content although rubbish sleeper. From reading around the web about earlier feeding issues I have over supply & fast let down but as she's got bigger she manages that better. Feeds used to be only 5mins long and every 2ish hours and I would block feed, she now goes closer to 3hrs between feeds and they last 10-15mins so I do a new side each feed. Would appreciate any thoughts or suggestions anyone may have.

DD used to have this problem & again GP etc didn't see it as a problem - she did also have other ongoing skin problems which I also couldn't get any real medical help for -

turned out - via a Alt therapist friend - to be an intolerance to chemical food additives ingested via my BM (I had cravings for cheap jelly sweetsBlush - I cut out any additives & her skin problems cleared up dramatically - so did her green pooh
