I talked to the pediatrician about this and she just said it could be something im eating. I have read that breastfed baby poop should be yellow with curds in it and that consistently green poop could indicate an allergy or hindmilk/foremilk problem. I have eliminated potentially allergic foods and stopped taking vitamins to see if it would help. She is emtying both breasts so I dont know if it could still be a hindmilk imbalance. My baby is gaining weight just fine. She is almost 3 months and 12lbs. If your baby is 100 breastfed what does their poop look like? The only time my baby poops yellow is when I go to work the one day a week on saturday and my hubby gives her formula. Thanks

Formula poop looks different than breastfed baby poop. Breastfed baby poop can look green OR have those curds. If your pediatrician isn't concerned then I wouldn't worry too much.
Just wait until your daughter moves to solids! I remember well the first "man poop" my son had after starting baby food!!

All baby poop is different. If your pediatrician says its fine and the baby doesn't seem to be bothered by it I wouldn't worry about it, my daughters was every color of the rainbow over the last 10 months.

My daughter was 100% breastfed. She had green poop and I asked the doctor about it and he said the same thing," It's something you're eating." It took me a while to figure it out. It was the grape juice I was drinking.

I would agree with your Dr. It depends on what foods you're eating. if I eat beets, the baby's poop is pinkish. If you eat salads and greens, the baby's poop will be green.
and if the baby's gaining weight, she's probably just fine.

It is totally normal. Even when it's yellow it's fine. She won't start pooping "normal" colors until she is on baby food.

If it doesn't seem to be bothering her, I wouldn't worry about it. Variations in color can be normal. If she is gaining weight and seems healthy, don't obsess over it.
