What Causes Watery Yellow Or Green Stools?

Hi! I have a 3 month old who previously had 1 stool once a day or every other day. For the past 7 days, she has been having 7-8 watery yellow or green stools per day---no blood. My doctor s office was not worried. She is only breastfed, and continues to nurse and gain well. She strains with bowel movements and appears uncomfortable. Otherwise, no fever or other symptoms. Is this normal?

Hello. Thank you for your query. As a Lactation Consultant I would suggest you to keep the baby more on the breast. Sometimes green stools are from getting more fore-milk than hind-milk. So all you have to do is to offer the baby one breast at e time and keep him as long as you can. Or you can pump the first 20-30 ml from your breast and then put the baby to nurse. I think you will find this helpful.
