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.

      CAMERA NEEDED

      By Anthony Birdinio · Posted

      Hello East Dulwich Forum,  I am looking to rent or borrow a high quality DSLR or mirrorless camera. I am trustworthy resident of East Dulwich who is starting an events company. I want to shoot some food trucks at an event for my website. I am happy to pay to borrow and will leave whatever deposit needed.  Let me know 🙂  Anthony

      Tesla at Belair House

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      I've now read the Telegraph article. The journalist Kate Wills @katewills stole the closing "jazz [jizz] and [spit] roast" gag from David Peckham. If the Telegraph's geriatric readers got the joke they'd choke on their kippers. As someone who walks right past Belair House at weird hours (because I am weird), the sex parties are a lot less bothersome than other events Belair House puts on: for example, the club nights when the promoters illegally block parking on Gallery Rd in front of Belair House, when bouncers are posted on the front gates blocking access to a public park, and when the pavement and verges are strewn with flyers and booze bottles. Ms Waterhouse and Heaven Circle: you're welcome back any time. There's a bunch of antisocial fuckers plagueing Belair House - but it's not the sex parties...
