Explosive nappies

Hi all,
I wonder if you can help.
My 11 week old pops every other day. However the pop is always explosive and quite green and watery.
It's very smelly too.
She is formula fed and has approx 30oz per day.
I took a pic of it to show the doctor on Tuesday.
Is this normal do you know?
Thanks

What formula is she on? Green smelly poop is normal for weird allergy formulas, or sometimes when switching between formulas.

Might be indicative of an allergy? Any other symptoms suggesting this (pain, scrunching/arching, excess vomit)?

How green are we talking, and how explosive? Check with gp, but if no other symptoms, I'd rest assured she's ok if gaining weight well (30oz is a great amount, that might explain the explosiveness). Her digestive system may just be still developing :)

Ooops sorry, watery or mucusy, like shiny? That's a major allergy or teething symptom.

Interested in this thread?

Thank you so much for replying. She is on Sainsburys stage 1 formula.
It's quite watery with a touch of mucus.
She doesn't seem to have any issues with reflux, she is sometimes a little sick a couple of hours after her bottle.
She is however quite dribble and always has her fist in her mouth. I think she may be teething.

It's more of a brown green and quite shiny

I'm no expert, we didnt have brown nappies until weaning. Mucus would be the teeth then :) Check with the gp, but I wouldnt be overly concerned in the absence of other symptoms.
