6mo poop

[user3544]

Ahhh any seasoned parent advice greatly received please!

My DD is nearly 7 months and we’ve been trying weaning for the last 3 weeks. It isn’t going brilliantly to be honest. She barely seems to eat anything, sometimes gets upset, and definitely isn’t wolfing anything down. Otherwise she’s exclusively breastfed. But her poos have suddenly changed and I just wanted to check if they were normal?!

Sorry if this is TMI but they’re porridge-y in consistency and florescent yellow in colour. Like a mad day-glo colour I’ve not seen before. She’s doing 4ish a day (although has always been a frequent poo-er!). Otherwise very cheery, if a little more sicky than usual (I’ve put this down to her stomach being more full than usual and her new found love of rolling).

What do you think? Nothing to worry about or should I give the docs a call?

Bumping this for you, OP. It's a long time since we had nappies flapping on the washing line over these 'ere hills, but hopefully someone will be along soon at the same stage with some reassuring advice.

8 month old weaning baby here, also breastfed. That doesn’t tally with my experience. Little ones weaning poop is becoming more like adult poop. Though she is a bit constipated.

Should say I also have a slightly older child and he wasn’t like that either.

I guess it depends on how much they're actually eating in terms of the texture but that colour doesn't sound like anything I've seen. Once mine started on solids most of her poos became brown and quite thick in consistency and stank!! Had the odd yellowish or green one but normally a shade of brown.

I'd give the docs a call just incase. It won't hurt. Even if nothing comes of it now may be good to have it in your notes for future reference
