    TMI - poo colour - breastfed

    DS2s poo tends towards green a lot of the time. ranging from yellow to greenish.
    He is fully breastfed, so Im assuming its to do with my diet.
    Do I need to be concerned?
    Sometimes its a bit like jelly, other times it seems stringy, like spinach almost.

    RayRay, baby and child poos come in a huge range of colours and there is rarely cause for concern. Yellow is really normal for bf babies, and green is usually to do with high lactose - so it's common with oversupply, or if the mum changes sides too soon. Most likely you have a really good supply which is causing the green-ness in this case. As long as there are no signs of a problem such as screaming in pain etc, then I wouldn't worry at all.
