    Obviously, my bubs is on solids now. But until he went on solids at about 5 months, it was orangey, not particulary offensive smelling, and very runny with a few little chunky bits. Except if he was doing a lot of on and off comfort sucking, then he would get a foremilk OD and it would be quite stinky and 'frothy'= lots of little air bubbles in it.

    Hope that answers your question PP Can I ask why you're asking?

    lol i cant for the life of me remember DD's poo at this age (2 months).

    But DS had similar to what you describe. Watery with small lumpy bits ijn yellow.
    Then didnt poo for 2 days.
    Then today it was like mustard colour in a smooth peanut buttery/cream texture....

    wondering if it ever thickens up when just BF.... if this is the start to no more liquid squirts.

    (sorry no poo fetish lol... actually had a reason for asking lmao)

    Both my boys were totally different pre-solids, and both were exclusively bf. DS2 had "runny" poos for a lot longer than DS1. I think all babies are different.

    Hi Pink
    It often looks like mustard, and sometimes a little like whole grain mustard

    James has the mustard coloured, runny with "seeds" in it poo. Sometimes its a bit darker and had sort of mucousy bits in it and other times its lighter and thicker. He poos about 3 times a day and they aren't overly huge. I think we have only had a major leak once. HtH!

    We were mostly mustady. (Normal)
    We also had dark green & mucousy for a while. (Over supply & fast let down = too much fore milk & not enough hind milk. It did settle after 2 - 3 weeks.)
    Now its lovely & brown & stinky...gotta love the solids!
