green poo, yellow poo

1 week old DC3 has green poos, not really yellow ones. The consistency is right (breastfed baby) but does the colour matter? Is it something to do with fore milk/hind milk imbalance...? You'd think I would remember from the other babies but I don't...

If your baby is healthy and gaining weight normally, this is nothing to be concerned about :)

Green poo is within normal.

Whoops just seen he is only a week old - for some reason I read he was older. At a week get him weighed. All could be well, but it is unusual for poos not to have turned yellow by now ( they can turn green after this without it being an issue , see my previous post).

Thanks tiktok. He was weighed on day 5 & had gained 140g on birthweight, so does that sound okay? He seems perfectly happy to me.
