Green poo!

[Raveismyera]

My DD is 9 weeks old and ebf. For the last 2 days she has had a green poo nappy early evening. It's a generous smear and the nappies before and after are fine.

She does poo a lot, a good 6 dirty nappies a day. The main change I guess is she's started sleeping through so is going longer between feeds although she's fed on demand

Any ideas? Thanks!

I think it's lots of foremilk that can cause green poo but it's been a while so I might be wrong.
Can be a problem if she's not getting enough hind milk but I'd say if she's sleeping through it's not that. Has she been having extra short feeds to quench her thirst with the weather being warmer?

That's the first thing I thought of but it seems odd it's only one green nappy amongst many? I'm not noticing any difference in her feeds

Well on the normal spectrum. All babies have this occasionally. Please don't worry about fore or hind milk.

Thanks tiktok!

Yes, DS does this from time to time. If it continued being green for days, I'd contact your HV for reassurance, but as long as he seems well, it's probably fine.

It's something to do with fore/hind milk imbalance, but really nothing to worry about - don't feel you have to change anything about his feeding.
