Mucus in baby poop

Hi mamas,
My baby is 4 months and 19 days old. Breastfeed only. He used to poop once a day and sometimes once every two days. There was one time that he pooped on the fourth day. After that he has been pooping more than two times a day (2-5 times a day). The poop color is sometimes yellow, light yellow, olive oil kind of green, darker kind of green. I think there’s mucus in poop too. I was thinking that baby’s having diarrhea. We went to the doctors for the four month well check up on July 29th and I told them about this. Doctor said that baby looks well, no vomit, no fever and he suggested not to worry too much. Today I noticed some light blood in mucus and the poop color is yellow. Several hours later he pooped again. The color is green. There’s still mucus, but I didnt notice blood. Advice please?

This happened to my baby as well. Doctors said it was fine then there was blood and mucus. Turned out she had a lactose intolerance.

Muscous, blood, green poop...all indicative of a food allergy.

Bottle refusal

EBF and deciding I want a bit more flexibility so wanted to introduce a bottle so I can go out more.

She used to take one three months ago. Now she flat out refuses and cries - doesn’t matter if it’s expressed breastmilk or formula. Tried it in a sippy cup as well. What can I do?

Formula suggestions

Hey! We are new to the United States and we are struggling to find a good formula, we are currently using bubs grass fed formula (pictured below) and we use Karicare (also pictured) back at home. We are looking for something similar that comes in a bigger can as the bubs one is only 20 OZ so we are having to buy 2 cans p/w
