My dd was yellow ans eedy looking because she was breastfeed, when we would supplement with formula it would be green. SueCampbellBill 01-23-2006, 09:12 AM It is totally normal......nothing to worry about at all. pittbulllover 01-23-2006, 11:56 AM Normal, normal, normal. :) jenn.e 01-23-2006, 01:45 PM Good Start= dark green and very stinky poo Enfamil= lighter green/yellow not as stinky Similac= dark poo, still not as stinky as Good Start All Star Mom 01-23-2006, 11:41 PM I use Similac, and I can't imagine the Poo getting any stinkier! :p But it is dark green, and always has been. The Doctor told me that as long as he continues eating well and gaining weight, everything should be fine. Good luck, and don't worry. babygirl224 01-24-2006, 05:14 PM my dd is 3 months and she has always had green poo, she is on nestle good start and it does have iron in it...is this normal we tried Nestle Good Start with my DD for a while and her poo turned green, her doctor told us that green poo is totally normal for Nestle Good Start. We have since switched to Enfamil for other reasons and she has a yellowish color now. Don't worry, Ratatosk 01-24-2006, 05:21 PM DS was on pregistimil -- a predigested formula for a week or so. Nasty stuff. Anyway, his poo was grass green. Looked like he ate grass and asked the doctor -- does that look NORMAL to you. He said, yep, good old pregestimil poo. Switched to infamil shortly after and it was more yellow, smelled kinda like feta cheese. Time to worry is if the poo is always greasy, smells really bad, really runny and your child is losing weight -- that can be a sign of something not quite right with the digestive tract. MommaBee 01-24-2006, 05:33 PM It is the iron that is making it green. I take iron too and mine is always green. Don't worry! |
