Foamy poo

[Tweet2tweet]

I'm nit sure whether this is the best talk subject for this but am going to give it a try. My 3 week old dc has terrible wind, from both ends. Most mornings they are screaming from 3 am until a fart comes out. Whilst changing nappy today they went and it came out as yellow foam. Is this normal? A bit freaked out....

Has anything changed today? If you're worried I'd suggest contacting your health visitor or gp.

How are you feeding? Breast, formula or a combination of the 2? Only asking as the advice will probably be different.

I dont know if this helps but my ebf ds had bubbly 'foamy' poo up until about 5mo - he is 7mo now but i definately remember it being bubbly when i heard/saw it come out.

But please contact hv if concerned.

it was yellow too - just like you describe, yellow foam - pretty sure its normal . .

Went to doc today and he said was just what babies do. Checked dc's bum and she pooped on him! . She also has mild thrush in mouth but he said no need to treat it......
Am just starting the long attempt to put to bed and am hoping I might get at least 2x 2hr sleep slots tonight...

It can be a sign of lactose intolerence though the poo would usually be green frothy.Are you breast or formula feeding?
I suggest that you seek advice from your health visitor.
There are lactose free formulae available or if b/f you can try a dairy free diet to see if it makes a difference.
