I'm new to this, I don't know if it's normal. All of today, he's been really really sleepy and DH has just changed his nappy and it's yellow with bright green all through it. Surely this isn't normal? He's EBF if that makes a difference.

From my memory at NCT this is normal. Others will be along to confirm. It's shocking colour in first two weeks, then settles down to more normal shades of yellow.

The yellow put me right off mustard for a while.....

It went from meconium to mint sauce to chicken korma but now it's just full of green. I shouldn't panic right?

Perfectly normal. It'll be green occasionally throughout your EBF time so don't be alarmed :)

Green poo is when that bit of milk wasn't wholly digested as it went through him. Might be because he had more milk than needed or it went through his tummy quicker than normal, or many other reasons.
Totally normal.
All my three have had it at times.

That's such a relief :)
