    diarreah or normal stools

    My DS is 3weeks old. has about 2/3 bowel movements a day. they are extremely runny, almost watery, and mustard in colour with seeds.

    how can i tell if this is diarrear or normal bowel movements. he is sdolely breastfed.

    thx,

    ps- i dont want him to have diarreah.

    Sounds perfectly normal for a breastfed baby.
    If you are worried talk to your MCHN about it but it sounds fine to me

    I agree... it definately sounds normal for such a young, breastfed baby.
    Maybe mention it next time you see your GP or MCHN though for your own peace of mind...
