Newborn Baby Poop

The first few days after birth your baby's poo color is green-black and sticky. These cocoons are called meconium. Meconium is what the baby swallows while in the womb.
Breastfeeding of infants breastfed 1 week after birth in the form of soft and semi-liquid color is usually light yellow. Because they absorb a large amount of breast milk, babies often poo and have a poo.
As your baby grows, the number of poop decreases and varies from 1 to 3 per day. Depending on what you eat and your baby's digestive rate, the color and consistency change, the amount and frequency decreases.
Ready-to-feed babies have a more thick and pale color. The frequency of pooping is also less.
After 1 month, breastfed infants may decrease in frequency. It can even be seen that they do 2-3 poops a week. This is extremely normal. Because the baby digests almost all of the mother's milk, there is little poop left in the intestines. So just because the baby doesn't poop doesn't mean he's constipated.
Beyond being soft, even semi-liquid is quite common. The scent is slightly sour: this “special odor” is only present when breast-fed. The color is usually light yellow.
The baby's poo color may also change according to the mother's diet and the foods she eats. For example, foods such as spinach and purslane that the mother eats can also pass into breast milk and make the baby's poo color green.
Diarrhea can be hardly recognized, as infants who are breastfed can have very juices. Probably diarrhea if the poop count is greater than usual, smells very bad, has blood or fever. In this case, consult your doctor.
