My 9 day old baby has bright orange poo and seems to be getting a bit windy. I'm worried some of the medication they've given me after a difficult birth could affect him(I'm breast-feeding exclusively and he is a really good feeder). He has been feeding all the time which the midwife says is quite normal but the poo is a v strange colour??


I'm taking a strong iron supplement is there anyway that could make him constipated?

Orange poo can be quite common in exclusively breastfed babies. Variants from green, brown, yellow and green are all very normal. I believe the iron your taking would make babies poo more green in appearance so I doubt too much is passing through your breastmilk.


Talk to your HV if your still worried about it, they should reassure you.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      Really interesting discussion here. It's difficult to respect the views of people who support Farage, Trump, Musk etc. Why should we, when their views are deplorable. But then that exact 'deplorable' label, as we know, is counterproductive and drives people to double down / switch off to more progressive views. How do you actually help change minds? We're currently spiralling into dark places culturally and politically imo. The amount of open racism, even amongst front line politicians here and in the US is astounding to me. Feels like we're going backwards. The influence of social media and the tech billionaires / bros, is a powerful and largely malignant one. There was an enlightening (and frightening) bit of journalism by Sky this week about Musk's influence on British politics. He has a strange obsession with the UK and London in particular (as do many on the US right wing): https://news.sky.com/story/the-x-effect-how-elon-musk-is-boosting-the-british-right-13464487

      Paris 'off the beaten track' Marais area tips ?

      By Naiada · Posted

      I'm going to Paris with friends, staying in the 3rd arrondissement. I used to go a lot but that was ages ago so wondered if anyone has any 'insider tips'? We are interested in small art galleries, independent shops, good value cafes and restaurants that may not feature in all the many online articles or guides, thanks!
