baby stool

[narbuckle01]

Hi! DD has pooped 7 times times so far today. Her stool is now stringy and mucus-y. Pedi is closed, planning on calling in the AM. She's acting 100% normal. First time mom worries... what are your all's thoughts?

Edit Dr google says dairy intolerance from my bm. Which makes sense because I've slowly re-introducing it into my diet to test her tolerance. Maybe I just figured it out...

Does she have a cold? Mucus-y poo could just be a result of swallowing mucus. But combined with the increase in frequency, it sounds like you might be right about the milk

[narbuckle01]

No cold. I did read that as well and wondered.

It could be what your instinct tells you, it could also be the beginning of teething. They have excess drool when teething, and it can take months before a tooth will even pop, despite the initial teething signs.

mucus, usually means even though no cold she is swallowing something somewhere, stringy might be milk...

I remember all kinds of crazy weird poo. None of it was worrisome unless bloody according to my pedi.

[narbuckle01]

Drooling has significantly increased the past two days, she soaked through a couple of shirts for the first time. That could be contributing as well. Still acting normal though, I'll stop worrying!

Agreed with becole that there is some weird poop in the beginning stages. It's def normal to worry about every thing, I know I did (and still do).
