Question 1

is thick green clay like poop normal for my 7 month old?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Infant stools can be any color from the greens through yellows to brown. Consistency varies with the food ingested.

Question 2

what does thick pasty white poop in a 15 month old mean?

Accepted Answer

Maybe nothing: If a child had a barium study then the white is the barium. It is called an acholic stool and occasionally someone may have one. If they continue to be be pasty white then you  need to have child seen as continued white poops are not normal.  Means not enough bile in the digestive tract....

Question 3

my formula fed 3 month old hasn't pooped in 2 days.  she normally poops at least two times a day, and her stools are soft but thick.

Accepted Answer

Can be normal: As babies age their stool patterns can change and become less frequent.  Going a few days without a stool is very common.  If she is eating and acting normally, there is nothing to do (but wait for the blowout diaper when she does go ;) )

Question 4

why does my 6 week old have really dark green and really thick poop sometimes has a little bit of yellow in it?

Accepted Answer

Stool color: Stool color can be variable. Generally the more rapidly iit passes  greener it is, or the more bilirubin it contains.Worry if the stool has no color or if it contains blood.

Question 5

this the first time this has happened. after hard sex i have light bleeding didn't last long a day after i have thick brown discharge look like poop?

Accepted Answer

Brown discharge: this is most likely old blood in the vaginal cavity. I would have it checked out by your on/gyn next week some time. In the meantime you could cleanse the area with a vinegar and water rinse.  Feel better!

Question 6

my 3 month old baby is exclusively breastfed. he was pooping every 1-3 days now it's once a week and very thick like toothpaste? is this okay? causes?

Accepted Answer

Normal poop: Poops are normal. Normal for frequency of poops to decrease as baby gets older.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Constipation: Constipation likely. High fiber diet metamucil excellent increase water intake. If persists see physician. Low potasium high calcium dehydration thyroid disease medication including narcotic pain meds all can cause. Some you can adjust for some requires medical attention and testing.

Question 8

my 3.5 month old ebf baby didn't poop for 3 days.  when she did it was very smelly and thick, like soft butter or gooey peanut butter.  is that normal?

Accepted Answer

Normal: Breastfed babies can go 5-6 days without pooping. Formula fed babies 1-2 days. Breastmilk poop can be green, yellow, brown or tan; watch for blood in the stool or signs of irritability with stooling; often times the breastmilk color is just a reflection of what "mom" ate and what "baby" need; what's not needed gets pooped out!
