Title: When they feed too much
Post by: yaya on January 25, 2006, 14:03:38 pm

Just a quick question...when bf babies feed too much do they get green poo???
My lo has is 13 weeks old and now feeds for 5 to 10 mins and i was worried this is too little
however when he eats for longer than this he tends to get green poo, a sign that he ate too much?

*Sometimes* green poo can mean they got too much foremilk. So it surprises me that it isn't the other way around, eating less making more green poo.

If he isn't bothered by it, I wouldn't worry too much about the color. Wait until solids start!

Staceys right!

I just wanted to add that babies do get far more effiencent at nursing as they get older, my 9month old barely stays on for more than a few minutes.
