My dd used to get this, especially when she was teething. I think it's quite normal and not something you need to worry about x

Its relatively normal, particularly in breastfed babies. If baby has a lot of green poos and are bf it can be a sign that they are getting too much fore milk. The milk that comes out when first feeding is thinner and comes out fast, the hind milk is thicker and comes slower. Might be a good idea to try and get baby to feed for longer on each breast to make sure they get the hind milk too. My ds had an atomic green one and I panicked but the hv said unless its happening often its not something to worry about. Congrats on your baby!

It's normal for it to happen on occasion. Happened more during summer with my dc oddly enough. As long as your baby is otherwise well and it's already gone back to normal, it's fine.

No it's not a concern if it's only been one and baby is well. Obviously if baby is unwell then seek medical advice. If you're breastfeeding green poo can sometimes be due to getting lots of foremilk during a feed.
