the problem is she's only 8 days old. it's norma for older babies, yes.. but not for brand new ones

oh got it, hadn't even realized? did she have plenty of meconium poops? just hasn't had any of the typical yellow seedy bm poops?

Yeah, she had meconium poops until my milk came in, then she had one "transitional" poop that was like meconium with seedy yellow breastmilk poop in it... and then nothing since.

Both the doctor and the midwife seem to think it's OK but it's driving me crazy.
