Does this look like normal poo for 5month old

I'm concerned of my baby has mucus in her poo. All of her poos look like this and I'm not sure if that is just what it's supposed to look like or if it's mucus as there is a bit of stringiness you can see in the picture. She is an exclusively breastfed baby and doesn't show any signs of being uncomfortable or in distress, no vomiting or diarrhoea or blood in stool. She is teething but her poo was like this since she was 3.5months old.

Yes! If she is teething the mucus could be dribble or snt.

Looks fine to me

Looks like normal breastfeed poo to me.

I would say that’s a fair amount of mucus. It’s very shiny.

Is it something I should be concerned about do you think?

Hi, any update with this? My 5 month olds nappies have started to look like this for the past week now. Sometimes green but mostly bright yellow, Im think its teething related?

Green nappies can mean rotavirus, although bright yellow isn't so unusual for breastfed babies. Any symptoms of illness?
