Is it normal for a newborn to poop green poop?

i know this is a gross question, but if a newborn does green poop and its runny also, does that mean she is sick, should the baby see a doctor , or is it normal, and also im sorry for putting such a gross picture in your head, but yeah thanks :*)

Answer #1

perhaps it could be the formula there giving the baby…everybodys body is different.

Answer #2

If you are worried just ask your childs doctor

Answer #3

The first bowel movement a baby has is green/black. It’s called meconium and it’s a result of all the nutrients the fetus has ingested while in the uterus. It’s normal and expected.

Answer #4

It’s meconium. It’s green because of the bilirubin that wasn’t excreted before birth.
