    I wouldnt worry about it.... if it consistent for a 7 day period and/or she becomes feverish then yes get it checked ...but like the others relax a babys digestive system is brand new and takes a few years to get totally in tune to all the new food etc etc it is given...

    My second son was addicted to milk so much so i was always ready for the overflow poo..narmi that would always eventualy happen as what the body doesnt want it either comes up or out .... he is 5 now and perfectly healthy and isnt addicted to milk anymore..

    I know I posted this a while ago but I'd just thought i'd update.

    Since this incident my daughter has had another mucousy nappy yet this time there was a large amount of mucous. She also vomited shortly after (just a normal bottle/reflux burp vomit) and there was quite a bit in there too.

    The doctor is testing for cystic fibrosis and food allergies. The blood test was not a pleasant experience at all for my daughter. We discovered whilst the nurse was drawing blood that she is hyper-flexible her little arm is black and blue.

    Fingers crossed all turns out well x

    When my baby had this it was a dairy allergy (which he grew out of). I was told to avoid soy too as the proteins are so similar people are often allergic to both.
