OK, so DS is 8 weeks and EBF.
No problems with nursing, milk came in fine. His BM's have always been within the range of 'normal': yellow/brownish to greenish, seedy looking, loose, etc...
However, in the last few days they have gotten noticably more mucousy and I haven't seen a yellow/yellowish brown one in almost a week. I just changed a diaper that was almost solely brownish-green mucous with very little in the way of seedy bits. At about 4weeks I eliminated all obvious dairy (milk, yogurt, cheese, etc) because I noticed it made him a TON more gassy and uncomfortable.
Could it be a dietary issue causing this mucousy-ness? Wheat, maybe? Or do I need to get really serious with the dairy (I haven't been avoiding it in baked goods or the odd bit of butter...).
He doesn't have a fever and his behavior isn't any different, still smiley and happy as a clam.
Dr.Google says it gree mucous can be casued by a virus and can often be the only symptom of a virus. Any idea how long it would last if this is the case?
Or, He's always been pretty saliva-y, and I know a lot of 3mo start drooling like crazy, could he just be starting that pre-teething drooly period really early? could this cause mucousy poo's?
Should I be bringing him in to see someone?
