my baby is passing greenish colour motion. is it normal? or anything to worry? what could be the reason?

when my baby was on exclusive bread feeding she had this greenish poo problem. when I consulted my paediatrician he said if baby is active and not loosing the weight, then it is normal. when I started solids for her the poo became normal.. once consult with your pediatrician for confirmation.

Foremilk is the initial watery milk which is rich in proteins... Hindmilk is the thick milk that comes later and is rich in fats... if your exclusively breastfeeding and you find ur baby's poop green, that's because the baby is receiving more of the foremilk n the protein is the one which makes it green... this happens if you swift ur breasts quite often while feeding.. that's y doctors suggest to give milk of one breast completely n then move to the other one, even if it is leaking on the other side... if your baby is active n not loosing weight take it easy dear :)

If you are exclusively breastfeeding and if baby is active and is not ill and gaining weight, then you need not worry. Greenish Motion can be due to- Some Antibiotics given to baby for cold/infection; Infection when baby starts licking during mouthing period (baby try to lick everything he sees); Symptoms of growing first teeth; Sometimes some baby nutrition product like (Bal-Guti) may induce such symptoms; You may simply consult doctor and have your baby's greenish motion tested for any infection in good pathology lab. If report is normal and baby is active, no need to worry.

hi ANJANA do not panic try it but do not force Ur baby . let Ur baby to take for less time . if then also doesn't then meet Ur pediac. it happened with me also my baby was not having it I waited for 2-3 feed then called pediac she suggested to feed my expressed milk with spoon . she told that if baby gets more hungry then also refuse to have feed. but my baby was active . watch Ur baby activity , if u feel any difference. meetUr pediac.

Dont worry dear. breast fed babies do tend to delay pooing. Reason being breast milk is very nutritious and gets absorbed fully so if there is no waste getting released there wont be any poo. just hv a track how many times she passes urine. If any concern get medical attention.
