Can we talk about poop please? 8 Month old

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

Both of my girls have had food allergies so I am constantly analyzing their poop.redface.gif  DD2 is 8 months and almost exclusively BF-she has VERY small amounts of solids.  (We do BLW, so it's just whatever she swallows which isn't much at this point.)  I am currently off the top 8 plus corn and her bowel movements are improving from the green mucusy slime they were before.  Trouble is, I am not sure what they should be like exactly.  Do you mind sharing what your baby's poop looks like if they are mostly breastfed but have a tiny amount of solids?  Bonus points if you post a picture.  winky.gif  Thanks!

Hmm, no picture... but if I could describe it, perhaps something in the color range of a melted kit kat? ;)

 

My DS is 8mo and mostly breastfed. No iron fortified anything, no cereals. He gets a half jar of puree at daycare for lunch, and BLW in the evening. His poops are sticky and have the consistency of really thick pancake batter. They tend toward the orange end of the brown spectrum, but can take on really funky colors depending on what he's eaten. Anything chunky -- blueberry skins, shreds of meat, etc, comes out whole and seemingly undigested. He goes 1-3 times per day.

 

My friend's 9mo DD is nearly exclusively breastfed. They're doing a little bit of solids via BWL, but the baby isn't getting much food. Anyway, this little girl on poops once a week, and they come out pelletty.

 

So I think there's quite the spectrum!
