Poo colour is this normal?

We changed her formula from kendamil to aptimil comfort around 4 weeks ago. It’s been like this since. Is this normal?

Looks like bubba isn't agreeing with the formula. My LG has poos like this on a formula and we took her off it and she's been a lot happier since

We changed to cow and gate comfort and that's what her poos looked like. Baby isn't agreeing with the formula. Why did you move them onto "comfort"?

My little ones poos have started to go this colour and I thought it was an issue from things I'd read online but when I took him to the doctors, he didn't have a temperature or a bug of any kind (they felt his stomach, listened to his back, checked ears and mouth etc) and he wasn't dehydrated either.
Because he's also only going once a day, they weren't concerned.
I know all babies are different but hopefully it's the same for your little one.
I was told only to worry if there was mucus present or if it was red or black. Shades of yellow/orange/green interchanging are apparently quite common xx

I changed to Kendamil
Comforter and my LG poos are this colour…is this normal? She’s being a little sick but majority taking the feeds, if the poo is this colour so we need to change milk again🙈

i spoke to my HV about this because I was having the same issue and she said to put her back on her old formula or a different one because it was upsetting her stomach

Avatar

did your HV say that green meant an upset stomach then? This is what I read online but the doctor didn't seem to worried 🙈 he's only going once a day... Would it be more frequent if he had an upset stomach or is colour the indicator in babies rather than frequency?
Sorry to ask! So confusing isn't it when everywhere says something different 🤪 x

we changed her because she kept grunting she is happier on this one it’s just her poos are like this

ahh okay, yeah mine goes once or twice every other day and she doesn’t seem to be ill, the health visitor said she’s all good just to ask the doctor about her poo colour as it’s gone on for a while

Avatar

yes reading online I’ve seen it’s not an issue? But it is so confusing!! I have her injections on Tuesday so I’ll ask them then what I should do or if it’s okay to carry on x

Comfort is meant to be for constipation and colic, but I used it because my little one was grunting and very mucusy and it's got no cow milk in it, at least the one I was using didn't. She got better on those fronts but then her farts STANK and that's what her poo looked like so I was told to revert back to the old formula and go to the GP to get dairy free milk if needed

Avatar

ahh that’s good you got advice from the doctors! My little one seems to be loving this new one and all seems fine it’s just her poos being this colour. I’ll deffo get the doctors advice on it

Avatar

Does it matter that there is now cows milk or protein powder in it? Just wondering how long you keep them on this and then you revert back to the first one? (If that works) x

Avatar

as in going from the comfort ones back to the original ones? Same I don’t know when to go back😭

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.
