POOP thread!

[judyblume14]

I have a question. I can't be the only one. I feel like this thread is necessary.

DD is 6 days old.
EBF.
Had the normal tarry and transitional poop on days 1-3.
Days 4&5 were the normal seedy yellow poop.

Today her poop is... Orangeish?
Like yellow orange.

Normal or weird?

Hmm, I have no idea. DS2 is 7 days old and poop is currently green. I should probably check the pictures in the pamphlet I was given but I honestly don't remember orange being one of the colors. Doesn't mean it's not normal though.

It's normal! C was meconium and right to orange while she was pretty jaundiced and then yellow seedy poop.

The green poop is normal too but signal a foremilk/hindmilk imbalance. Just nurse longer on each side.

We vary through shades of yellow brown and orange with the occaisional greenish poop in there. I'd say normal. I think mucousy is the thing to look out for a an indication of a potential intolerance?

DS1 never really outgrew green poop. Even though the Drs said this was something to look out for/possible problem he was oyherwise healthy and they concluded it was just his normal.

We've been on the seedy, yellow poops. Most of her poops haven't been too yucky yet, but when do they get really bad and go up their back? I know they are coming soon, I just can't remember.
