So my two week old has jaundice and gets his levels tested once a week. Anyway, he’s had super runny poops since last night, like it’s pretty much just yellow poopy water. Is this normal? Should I take him in to be checked? He’s exclusively breast fed. He seems completely normal other than his runny poops 🤔 he’s eating and sleeping fine.

Okay that’s what I kind of figured since he seems normal other than that, but didn’t want to take any chances. Thank you!
@rayne27, I’ve always found with my newborns that their poop consistently changes every few weeks for the first month. So that may be the case:) I’m sure everything is fine.
But good idea I’ll give my health nurse a call 👍🏻
His poops have always been yellow since he was born and yeah they told me it was him pooping it out, but they’ve never been this runny. The runny-ness is what has me worried 😩 it’s usually a soft consistency not straight water like
@mamagunn.no.1, you are 100% right, they do poop out jaundice. All my kiddos have had it. I would give your nurse a call if you’re concerned but it sounds pretty normal...actually good news as the jaundice is getting out of his body:)
I would call a nurse health line and ask just to be sure but the way it was explained to me is that they basically poop out the jaundice so maybe that's why? Don't quote me on that it's just what one of the nurses told me because my bub had jaundice too
@rayne27, Generally babies who have typical jaundice poops are actually green. You may just want to check as your saying it’s yellow, which is normal for a breast fed baby. I only say check as he may not be clearing the excess bilirubin if it’s not present in his stool. We see lots of jaundice babies on the maternity ward, and all of mine were jaundice but one!
