Surprising Facts About Newborn Poop Every Parent Should Know! 🤯

Wondering what's normal for newborn poop? Here's a quick guide:

First Days: Newborns pass meconium, a sticky, tar-like black or dark green stool. This is completely normal and should transition within a few days.

Breastfed Babies: Expect yellow, seedy, and slightly runny stools. They can vary from mustard to bright yellow and occur frequently, sometimes after every feeding.

Formula-Fed Babies: Their poop is usually tan, brown, or green and has a pasty consistency, like peanut butter. It's less frequent than breastfed babies but still regular.

It's normal for color and consistency to vary. Green poop can happen if baby's feeding too quickly or getting too much foremilk.

Contact your pediatrician if you see red (blood), white, or black stools, or if the baby seems uncomfortable or constipated.

You've got this, mama!
