hi all,

was just wondering whether any of yr baby have done this...

my son Cole is a week old today but for the last 2 days everytime he farts he follows through, its really runny poo, mustard colour.

he hasnt had a proper poo for the 2 days either just the follow throughs, (hes breast fed)

am getting a little worried.

    bf babes tend to have quite loose poo, oliver could go almost a week without then all of a sudden loads, if its yellow its fine but if it goes green could be a sign of dehydration/diorreah. xx

    My lo mostly farts at the beginning of a poo. He's bottle fed but his poo is loose like a bf baby. As long as something is coming out then I wouldn't worry too much. Mention it to hv if you are worried though!

    Hi Munchkin
    Dont worry this is normal for breastfed babies. My lo was forever farting and pooing, i was worried but my midwife said it was perfectly normal and he may even miss a day of pooing..... fat chance, i fed him myself for 5 weeks and he pood none stop, as long as your lo is gaining weight theres no worries and as Krist says, if it's yellow its ok, you'll find that it's very watery too????

    I changed Lily's milk as her poo was always yellow and watery with lumps in it- was told this means that the milk isn't being digested properly and is curdling in their tummy. But it sounds like it's actually normal! She's always had funny poo though and she's bottlefed- now she's on c&g comfort and it's turned green! I'm very confused! It's gross having to talk about poo but how else do you know if it's normal?!
