Question about bowel movements (sorry, TMI)

AnnaBanana9 · Jul 3rd, 2009, 23:39 PM

Sorry for the TMI nature of this post, but I'm a bit concerned about Alyssa's poo. She had her first meal of carrots yesterday (previously only had baby rice) and had a poo this morning that was distinctly orange and rather carroty (again, sorry for TMI).

Is it normal for baby's poo to contain some of their meal, or is something wrong?

Feeling worried.... any help gratefully accepted!

Completely normal

Thank you! I was worried there...
Think I'm going to run the carrots through a sieve again, as the diaper contents looked a bit fibrous; maybe not a smooth enough puree?

If she ate it fine I really wouldn't be too worried, her poops will change alot now that on solids so it might have looked that way just because it was changing, might not have had anything to do with how it was pureed. But it will def change colors with different things she eats
