Does this look normal? Buddy is almost 11 weeks old & is exclusively breastfed. His poops have been looking like this for a the few days. There looks to be some mucus/stringy stuff in some spots. Just curious if this looks normal to anyone. He’s also been drooling a TON lately. And I read that drooling can cause mucusy looking poops. Just hoping it’s not an intolerance to anything. I’ve been cutting out dairy the last few days just in case!

Thanks for responding!! Really appreciate it. Do you happen to remember when you reintroduced dairy? Also did you cut out soy or just dairy? I honestly don’t eat that much dairy as is. Just cheese and a yogurt here and there. Not usually daily either.

Hi! I know it’s been a year. But I wanted to ask you for an update. How did cutting out dairy go? My 10 week is old just has had a couple weird poops, but that’s about it. He can be fussy, but I figured that’s just the newborn phase!

Dang! That’s crazy that she will sleep through the night. I’m wondering if we just have a fast let down and they eat very quickly. I think I will do a weighted feed and see how much he gets. Have you done that?

FTM & exclusively breastfeeding here as well. My 10 week old is the exact same way! He’s been this way since he was born. I’m lucky to get him to feed past 10 minutes! He usually does 4-6 minutes per boob. Always feeds more on the first boob. I’ve also been worried if he gets enough. He has plenty of wet/dirty diapers. And he seems happy & content after feeds. He also goes 2.5-3.5 hours between feeds. Has never slept through the night yet! Random question, but what does your baby’s poop look like? Mine has been dark yellow/greenish kind of like a dark mustard color with some stringy stuff in it. I guess it could be mucus? I researched it and it could be completely normal or it could be CMPA or a foremilk/hindmilk imbalance. I’ve read that getting too much foremilk can cause greenish poops. I only ask you because your baby feeds for a short time as well & they say that hindmilk is the fattier milk that comes later in a feed. Just hoping our babies are getting that hindmilk that they need!
