What are peoples babies poo like?

Seeing a lot of people saying their babies poos are really runny and they’re worrying. My little girl is 6 weeks today and all of her poos are super runny? They always have been just pure liquid and bubbly when they come out (I think from trapped gas)… are they not meant to be like that? I just thought because they drank liquid they pooed liquid but after seeing all these posts I’m thinking what if it’s not supposed to be like that?

Is your little one breastfed? My little girl was having frothy poos and I read it was because she was getting too much of the watery hind milk, which can be cause by a fast let down or oversupply! It seems to have regulated now though, just wondering whether this might be the case for you? :)

My little one’s poos are always liquid, with little fatty deposits I guess. Turmeric yellow. My boy is breastfed during the day and has three formula bottles overnight.

@Ellie Mc yeah she is - oh okay I never knew that was a thing! Hahah thank you I completely thought this was normal I was so confused seeing all these posts about poop x

@Rachel yeah sometimes they’re mustard seedy and yellow! Does the formula change the poop that your little one has then over the breast milk?

my girl is EBF and all her poos are very runny/liquid and yellow in colour. normal for breastfed babies xx

Breastfeeding poos do tend to be runny compared to bottle fed. What you don't want them to be is watery. Think more like egg yolk in consistency than a glass of water.
