pregnant and nursing toddler - poop question

[Faliciagayle]

DD is 27 months old and I am 39 weeks pregnant. I have no idea when my milk went dry because DD has nursed without a significant change in her patterns the entire pregnancy. Lately she's been nursing a LOT more, demanding this side, then that side, then back to this side and her poop has changed.

Not runny and seedy like NB, but pale. I know pale poop can be an indication of liver and gallbladder issues, but before I freak out about this, can colostrum cause this? I can't really get anything out of my breasts myself.... but when I do it's clear-ish (not yellow), thick, and viscous.

My 'casual' response is this:
1. I generally assume health in a child behaving in a healthful manner
2. You know she is nursing and your milk is changing so it follows that her poop is changing
3. Her life and nursing habits are going to change many times over the next 6 weeks, allow for lots of flex in her behavior, her poop, her need for you, etc.

I can't wait for more news.

DD's poop definately changed around and after the time DS was born (she was 31 months at the time). I don't remember the exact changes, but it was definately very noticable. After the birth it went basically back to bfed baby poop for a while. Luckily she was already potty trained
