    Check out this article

    Does it ring any bells for you, particularly the last section about lactose overload? Does he have a longer stretch overnight? Do your breasts feel fuller in the morning?

    Mucousy poos can be a sign of an allergy or intolerance........but that would usually be every (or at least most) poo. It doesn't sound as though that's what is going on for your DS.

    My DD had mucousy poos a few times too, I didn't think too much about it because they returned to normal fairly quickly and just put it down to something I ate?

    Hi, there,

    who ever knew in our pre baby days that we'd ever be so engrossed in (and worry so much about) poo?

    If your baby is happy and thriving the colour of the nappies just really doesn't matter. It's nothing your doing, nothing your eating - it's not you. In poo, most things are within the range of normal. Relax. It can be disconcerting when one child differs from another in their habits, but that is the nature of our individual bodies. If anything, sounds like you have a fabulous supply
