Have you been on ABs at all Murph? When you say stringy, do you mean slimy, mucousy?

When I was on ABs, DS had lots of wind and slimy green (somewhat explosive) poos.
ABs = diarrhoea. Diarrhoea strips gut of lactase, which is the enzyme that breaks down lactose. So baby can't handly lactose so well, so they get a lactose overload = green, runny poo.

A similar thing can happen if you have a very fast letdown, and/or too much milk.

Does she gulp or pull off when you first let down? Have lots of gas? That can be a sign of a fast letdown. Try feeding in a more upright position. Or, try triggerin letdown first, then put her own once it slows down a bit.


At this age they may go a week or so between poos, but they should not be formed at all, liquid is the go. If plenty of wet nappies, gaining weight, alert & happy at least some of the time and developing otherwise, then I don't think it could be a problem with supply.

Why not post in the breastfeeding problems & support section? You'll get the experts over there Oh, and you can always give the ABA a call. They'll set you straight
