    I think, someone correct me if I'm wrong, that mucus can be a sign of tummy upset.
    But it sounds like pretty normal teething poo's to me.
    Trust your instincts, if your worried take her to the gp. That's what they're there for.

    Mucus is a sign they've swallowed mucus. If bubs is snotty at one end its likely to be mucusy at the other. Very normal.

    Is she feeding for long periods or lots of quick feeds?

    I think if they are constantly having the foremilk (the watery part at the beginning of the feed) and not emptying the breast to get the hind milk, then their poos can go runny and on the green side. I am trying to remember if that is correct. I think it is, but someone might be able to clarify further.
