YoungBloke is 5 months old, exclusively BF and currently getting over
a very snotty cold. For the past couple of days his poo has been greener than usual, with some mustardy yellow bits but otherwise quite slimy and not the normal sweetish smell I've come to recognise (and thinking back, I can't remember when there last wasn't any green in there at all). In himself he's happy, laughing, and continuing to gain weight. He's not vomiting, doesn't appear to be teething (although he wants to put everything in his mouth and is drooly on and off) and doesn't appear to have any stomach aches or diarrhoea (although he's gone from 1-2 dirty nappies daily for the last week to 3 already today). He's feeding well, and fairly frequently, and has no signs of dehydration. So here are my questions: Could this change be in any way due to me being about to get my period? Could it be due to something I've eaten - if so what? My mum's recently been diagnosed with coeliac disease, could wheat in my diet be affecting his gut? Could it just be the end of the cold working its way out? Should I be any more concerned than I am (which isn't too much, to be honest, although I'm watching what I'm eating, so I can discuss with the health visitor when I see her on Thursday)? Any of you wonderfully experienced and knowledgeable mums got any ideas? Thanks for any help! -- Linz YB: 5 months, 17lbs |

Sounds pretty much like a normal Meg (5 mos) variation, probably more of the cold than anything else. I got my period when she was 4 mos and all I noticed in her was that she started getting a little acne right when I got the first period. I think there is some research out there about when wheat is introduced and susceptibility to celiac disease; OT from your concern, but since you are concerned about it running in your family you may want to check it out.

Very common with a child having a cold or getting over one. Not to worry at
all. -- Sue (mom to three girls) I'm Just a Raggedy Ann in a Barbie Doll World... Linz wrote in message ... YoungBloke is 5 months old, exclusively BF and currently getting over a very snotty cold.

He produced 7 dirty nappies yesterday, and one already today - slightly yellower, the smell is improving (good grief, the things we discuss!) but still very slimy. Still, I think there's some improvement.

Yeah, next time I see my GP I'll discuss it with him. -- Linz YB: 5 months, 17lbs |

Wheat in my diet affected Caterpillar, but it wasn't something that came and went, or something that lasted just a couple of days. That's what started me thinking. His poo has been greener than usual, but that's starting from a base of "not typical mustardy-seedy-yellow". I can't remember the last nappy that was seedy and yellow, they're nearly always a bit slimy and greenish. -- Linz YB: 5 months, 17lbs |
