4 week old BF baby, liquid poo ok?

Hello, my 4 week old EBF baby only poos every other day and when she does it is a liquid mustard colour. Is the fact that it's so runny ok? Just wondering if this was normal or not?

It sounds pretty normal to me. The BF midwife local to me describes it as having about the same consistency as chicken korma sauce without the chicken!

Exactly, just like a korma! Both colour and consistency sound normal, I'm not sure how often she should be going though, mine goes every day. If she's not showing signs of constipation then I wouldn't worry.

Yep that sounds totally normal! With bf babies they can go anything from a few times per day to once a week, it's rare to get a constipated bf baby. Most settle into their own little pattern

Yep sounds normal. EBF babies can go several days between poos
