Our newborn (one week old) is in lots of pain trying to go to the toilet and is passing green stools, she is crying uncontrollably and clearly in serious discomfort. I've tried researching it but everything is coming up from GED or colic to not getting enough hind milk or potentially the iron supplements I'm taking crossing the breast milk. Can anyone advise based on experience? I can't stand seeing her in pain and discomfort like this!

This sounds really distressing and I'm sorry that u only have a couple of suggestions... Are you breastfeeding or bottle? If breast, continue to offer milk whenever she cries. For both, make sure you are winding properly - it can take around 20 minutes after each feed and there are lots of tips online to help you with different techniques to try.

My DD had colic and gripe water really helped me to wind her properly. Lots of people swear by infacol or the other (dill-flavoured) one so worth giving those a whirl.

The green poo could be normal - baby's poo is weird!

Apologies - just re-read and can see you're breastfeeding. Hopefully a more experienced poster with a less sleep-deprived brain will provide more useful advice!

I had the hind milk imbalance with green spinach coloured poops. I had over supply so block fed to get it under control. Sorted it all out.

I would ask this to be moved to the feeding topic as the people there are so knowledgable. Good luck!
