Hi all haven't been on in ages as its been very hectic over festive period so happy new year to everyone!

Right...

Cooper is now 4months old and exculsively breastfed. He was doing really well and only pooing one or 2 days a week (but pooing ALOT!) and it was healthy yellow mustardy stools. Suddenly on New Years Days he started having a watery poo halfway through each feed. Sometimes its just water with a few bits of green in sometimes its green and foamy. He is also getting a bit uncomfratble during feeds and fussing alot. He has no other symptoms his fontanelle is no more dipped than normal and is happy other than that. I took him to the doctor on monday (3days in) and he said it was all normal and nothing to worry about, he even refused to look at the nappy I had kindly brought in! He said this could go on indefinatley and he would not be concerned.

I also talked to the HV she said nothing to worry about and agreed with everything the doc said.

The thing is this is NOT normal for Coop at all and he now has got really bad nappy rash because of all the pooing! I am getting a bit worried now regardless of what the doctor and HV have said.

I read somewhere about fore/hindmilk imbalance and as I have always fed 15mins each side at every feed, a few days ago I have switched to one boob per feed for as long as he will stay on, but it doesn't seem to have made any difference at all. Has anyone else done this and if it was caused by that should I have seen a result by now?

Has this happened to anyone else and did you find out the cause?

Also posting in baby club, hope thats OK mods.

me little girl had bad nappy rash and gren poo, fussy eating when she/i had thrush. i could see white patces in er mouth and very sore pink nipples.

does this help?

Green poo Says Vicky Pigott: "If your baby's stools are green and frothy she may be taking in too much lactose (the natural sugar found in milk), which happens if she feeds often, but doesn't get the rich milk at the end of the feed to fill her up. It may also be caused by overfeeding or underfeeding, or is a sign that your baby has a stomach bug."

Make sure your baby finishes feeding from one breast before offering her the other. If the symptoms last longer than 24 hours, consult your health visitor or GP to try to find the source of the problem, as it may be due to a food sensitivity, medication or your feeding routine.
