Junior had green poo for almost a week. My mil said he must have been frightened by something. Much as it's a common belief, it remains as just a belief for me. I read from a website that this could be due to 3 possibilities - overfeeding, underfeeding or not enough fat intake (ie, not getting enough hindmilk for breastfed babies). Mine could well be the 1st. I've been combining bm and fm for almost every feed, in a bid to keep the bm supply flowing, no matter how low it is.
Decided to accumulate all the ebm for 1 feed and give fm for the rest of the feeds to better manage the amount fed each time. Seems to be working.
Nevertheless, shall ask the paediatrician for advice. See what he says.

[PD said sometimes, formula-fed babies tend to have green poo. What's the logic?? I'd think it's coz formula-fed babies are usually overfed and thus explains the green poo. According to a famous lactation consultant at TMC (from her book on childcare), formula-fed babies tend to experience overfeeding.]
