    It could be from fast let down. Meaning baby is getting more fore milk & not enough hind milk. (I think thats how it works.)
    Maybe you could express off a bit before feeding?

    Kat - Bailey has done the same - reverts to pooing each feed, instead of a few times a day, and its been like mushed up stringy green lettuce - but then it has gone back to yellow after a few feeds. I have read in the Baby Love book that BF poo's can be - Quote "can be bright coloured (like pumpkin), seeded dark yellow, dark green and mucosy ore lettuce green - all normal"

    Thanks bjrose. That would make sense as she's been fussing at the boob a bit today and has more frequent, shorter feeds (thus getting more foremilk)

    Thanks to you to Naomi. I'm beginning to think I should get that book - it seems to be the source of lots of answers to my odd baby questions. Either that or I'll just keep getting you gals to look things up for me!
