Green poo in 4 week old

Hi all,

My DD has had green stools for the last 24 hours. She is solely breastfed and is feeding well. Is this a big concern?

Is it the flecky, grainy green poo she did when newborn? It just means she's getting more fore milk rather than hind milk and not a problem.

Prob a slight tummy bug/ side effect of more snot or drool. Green poo is fine if all else is well.

Thanks both. I've just made sure she drained at least one breast and will keep an eye on other symptoms. Hopefully I'll be rewarded with a grainy mustard package soon

They do all sorts of wildly coloured weirdness when breastfeeding. Nobody ever warns you. Think it like the Northern Lights and try to enjoy the colour show x
