Green, watery poo in bf baby.......is it normal? sorry for the tmi.

[GoodGollyMissMolly]

DD is 12 days old and has had 4 green pooey nappies today, the rest of the time it is a normal mustard yellow colour.
Is it normal??

congrats molly on your DD. I'm sure someone will have a more technical explanation, but I found that a whole range of earth tones was totally normal for my bf babies

I guess it's bound to change colour with her developing gut bacteria, and also with what you eat.

Thanks tickle, so its nothing for me to worry about then.

Congratulations MissM! My bf DS managed to produce nappies of every hue between mustard yellow and dark spinachy green. I used to go to an excellent bf support group and the bf counsellors there assured us that all these colours (plus some others that DS never managed) were perfectly normal. I did once hear that green nappies were associated with the baby taking a lot of foremilk (ie possibly you switched breasts before she got to the hindmilk) but I have no idea if this is true.

Thanks Bluestocking, she tends to only stay on the breast for about 20 minutes then get hungery again really quick. I've started to wind her when she comes off the breast and try her again on the same on after five minutes or so, and she generally takes it. So hopefuly she is now gwtting all of the milk and not just the fore milk.
