Quick question

For a breastfed 10 week old baby…his stools are mustard yellow and generally a paste-like consistency. Every once in a while they are a little watery, but usually more like a paste.

Just curious. It’s been 5 years since I last had a baby!

Thanks, it’s honestly just been too long for me to remember, plus I’m pretty sure that big sister had milk intolerance and I just didn’t know it. In fact, I’d bet money on it based on her symptoms.

the ‘things’ to look for w/ intolerances/allergies are of course skin reactions, but as far as diaper/gastric stuff:
*frequent green watery stools (& frequent green stools in general- SOME are perfectly normal!),
*stools that are mucousy (looks like cottage cheese curds and/or ‘stringy’ like the inside of a banana peel)
*also if baby is straining and grunting like crazy to poop and then when s/he finally does & it’s soft
*and if baby has frequent foul-smelling (really foul smelling) gas

Christina- your LO’s diapers sound ‘normal’… YAY!

I just wanted to add that Evan’s ‘mucous’ was/is more like jelly… in case anyone else is following this post 😉

to add to Erin’s our Mucous looked like snot… sorry if too graphic but really it at times looked like someone blew their nose in the diaper it was so bad.
