I've had my 8 week old in for diarrhea (green poop) and doctor told me it was food allergies.?

I've been on elimination diet for a few weeks and still green poop. I did accidentally have milk about a week ago and soy last weekend. I'm breastfeeding obviously. Has anyone else had babies have green poop for a long time. How long? She's growing, no fever, and hydrated.

How is your milk supply? You could have an oversupply! Too much foremilk causes green poop. Try nursing her on only one side at each feeding. She will get more hindmilk this way. My baby was pretty fussy and gassy with lots of green poop, and it turned out to be an oversupply of milk. If you nurse on both sides, they get too much foremilk. I thought it was food allergies too.

You may have a fore milk/hind milk imbalance. I am rather shocked that the doctor did not bring that up. I had green poop with my little guy. He was getting too much of the early sugary stuff, and not enough of the later, near the breast being empty fatty stuff. I would try feeding him only on one breast at every feeding, and making sure he completely empties it out. That solved my problem. If he never empties it out, you can try pumpiing some out before a feeding. if you do not have a pump, you can manually get a bit out before hand. Good luck. I hope that could possible be it, and not a allergy.

I nursed my son for 14 months and his poop was almost always green. He virtually never had that mustard yellowseedy poop that is supposedly "normal" for breastfed babies, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

As long as she's growing well, staying hydrated, seems happy, and doesn't ahve any other concerning symptoms
(diaper rash, other rashes, etc) then it's probably just your baby's natural poop and not anything to worry about.

green poo usually indicatres a foremilk/hindmilk imbalence. Babies getting too much foremilk from mom swapping breasts during feedings, or timing feedings usually go through this. Mine did.

Try feeding from one breast only for several feedings then switch(block feeding) and so on.

A;sp, ot takes around 2 weeks for all traces of dairy to leave your body and for baby to show improvement in that. Make sure you are eliminating all dairy, including Casin, Sodium Casinate, whey...etc.

You need to drink milk and water while breastfeeding. You need to keep your calcium levels up. It is not a good idea to cut out dairy products when you are breastfeeding. Did her doctor check her iron levels? Sometimes green poop is from too much iron. Are you on vitamins that have iron in them?

I agree with the other Ladies. I dont think its a food allergy at all- it sounds like normal baby poopy! If your baby's stool was bloody at all, then yes possibly an allergy. Or if the baby was very irritable, vomitting, gassy, etc... but just green poop- I wouldn't put money on an allergy.

I don't see how green poop is bad ... poop thats water like wouldn't be good but i don't see anything wrong with green.
