I know this is TMI but is it normal for my son's poo to look like this at just 6 weeks old?

My daughter is two weeks old and the health visitor came yesterday and mentioned that if her poo becomes hard and pale take her to the docs. I know camera lighting may be different but I don't think that looks normal in my opinion but U can google it. Is your child breast or formula fed? X

Formula, really struggled with him latching on x

@ceecee190,

I'm not sure with ur son being formula fed if his poo is supposed to look like that, I would google it and maybe take him to a walk in for them to look at. Did ur son have any jaundice when born? X

@warrior, my sons did that for a couple of days. I think it was constipation coz he seems ok now xx

According to this I think it may be normal x

Sorry it cut off the bottom lol

If your little one was constipated then it's normals even if he was struggling to go, try giving your baby a bit of cooled boiled water worked wonders for my little girl x

My little one has runny/sticky poos. I would ring your hv. X

Thanks all for your comments I've spoken to my hv she said to keep an eye on it @ceecee190 @mrsmowmow @natroberts88 @gabilicious @stacey804

I think it's incase it's causing discomfort or pain. Hope he's feeling better soon. Xx

Looks like constipation Hun xx

@holliesinead, yeah I thought it might be that although he didn't seem to be in any pain or have trouble passing xx

I'd say it's constipation my daughter has constipation due to her anti relux milk and that's exactly like her poop when it comes out :(

@elliesedanniel, my son is also on anti reflux milk .. It looks like that's the cause xx

100% it's thick milk so it clogs them up! Amelias is also on lactulose which helps it unclog definitely advice you to try that the docs will percribe you it :). Sometimes it clogs up loads that it'll end up hurting there bums so I put vasaline in in and around the bum which helps it slide out :) Xx
