5m old day 4 of greeny watery poo

Ds2 is 5m and ebf. On Friday night he pooed in the night which is unusual, and it was green and watery. Since then he's been pooing 5 or 6 times a day, all the same colour and consistency. Prior to this he was only pooing roughly every other day.

He has no other symptoms apart from maybe waking a bit more at night. He's feeding fine, no signs of dehydration, not being sick, no temp and perfectly happy.

I can't think of anything I've eaten that would have unsettled him.

I wondered about teething initially as he was very drooly on Saturday but thought that would have stopped by now?

Any thoughts?

DD did that at the same age, got 2 teeth and it stopped again. The health visitor (fwiw) told me weird poo was normal with teething. I did keep a very keen eye out for any signs of dehydration/illness but apart from the weird horrid poo she was fine.

How long did she have it for orignal?

Not really sure, it was a while, otherwise I wouldn't have said anything to the hv. A fortnight maybe?

Ah the bright green poo... Something to do with excess hind or fore milk. Ds1 had it for a couple of months before weaning, health visitors were never concerned. I think he was being greedy and guzzling the fore milk from both breasts or something.

I'm pretty sure it's not that this time gaaahhhh, ds has had it a few times from that but I've been able to predict its arrival accurately from how he's been feeding, it hasn't changed consistency only colour and its cleared up within a day.

It's been a week now Sad
