Sorry guys....color of baby`s poo at 7 weeks

thanks ladies, I was really starting to get worried there.

Thanks Marijke for the info

Ashlee's poo became green when I introduced formula as the formula has a lot of iron.

Thanks (not) for that Julz!

Before I became a mom I never realised how interested I would become in another human being's bowel movements!

My son also had green poo (at 7 months he still sometimes has it) and his paed said it is totally normal - any shade of green.

lol that is fine. I would name the poop after various curries. So it could be anything from butter chicken to Rogan Josh or even Paneer.

Needless to say we couldn't face curry for ages.

I think as new moms we focus on one thing and then get totally stressed.

If you are alarmed by something - try (and I know it is difficult) to look at a symptom or a sign and then look at the entire baby and go "should I be worried ... really..."

Most things we see are normal, and even if they are slightly abnormal to our idea of normal, are generally within the range.

It tends to be people's comments that drive us to insanity and worry.

I always tend to opt to leave things and see if they improve or change after three days ... baby poo is no different.

If you are really struggling with the first few months try to purchase a "what to expect ... the first year by Eisenburg, Murkoff and Hathaway."

Will save you a ton in paed visits (and sleepless nights/afternoons/cat naps.)

I swear my LG's poo's were always a hue of green (like a brown green colour) during those first few months.

I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Here's something I copied for you from www.justmommies.com/articles/baby-poop.shtml

Green Poop

Every now and then the notorious green poop may show up in your baby’s diaper. You may take a look at it and ask yourself “how’d that get there?” There are many different causes for green poop. More than likely, if your baby has green poop, it’s nothing to worry about, but here are a few possibilities.

* Iron-fortified formula - Some formula-fed babies will develop a case of green poop from the iron in the formula they are taking. As long as your baby is happy and not having any problems with constipation, there is nothing to worry about.
* Jaundice - A baby that has jaundice may have dark or greenish colored stools. This normally goes away once baby is off of the bilirubin lights.
* Dairy Sensitivity - Some breastfed babies are very sensitive to certain foods in their mom’s diet. If your baby is having problems with green mucousy stools, blood in his stools, spitting up a lot, or a skin rash, he may be sensitive to something in your diet. Dairy products are one of the most common causes of food allergies in babies. If you think this might be the problem, try eliminating milk and dairy products from your diet. It may take a couple weeks to see results from a dairy elimination diet. You should see improvement in a week or two. If you’re not sure, you can always try it out for a few weeks and then try having a cup of milk to see what happens. If the symptoms come back, then milk is probably the culprit and you will want to avoid it.
* Foremilk/Hindmilk imbalance - If your baby is breastfeeding and has green frothy-looking poops, this may be a result of a foremilk/hindmilk imbalance. To put this simply, when a mom breastfeeds the first milk that comes out (foremilk) is thinner and lower in fat. After you have nursed for a bit, you will start to produce richer, fattier milk called hindmilk. Babies that receive too much of the thin foremilk and not enough of the richer hindmilk sometimes have problems with green stools and tummy aches. If you have been switching breasts a lot instead of letting baby get a good feed on one breast, you may have problems with this.
* Other reasons - Sometimes babies just have greenish colored poop. The range of color in baby’s poops can vary. Any range of yellow, mustard to yellow/green is pretty normal for a baby. If baby is gaining well and happy then there is nothing to worry about.

Ladies, sorry to post such a yucky thread, but I really need to know..

My ma tells me that my baby`s poo is supposed to be a brownish to yellow color, and instead its smooth and its dark green.
I read up on it and appearently if baby`s poo is still green after a month it indicates that baby has an infection.

Can anyone tell me if its true , and if there is a way to get her to have to normal poo color a.s.a.p...hahaha

What are your experiences with it moomies...
