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.

      Dell Autos is closing tomorrow

      By Sue · Posted

      Closing down completely. The lovely people there are all retiring. Thanks, but Deptford is a long way to go to make two journeys to  take and collect a car! Do they not do even relatively minor repairs if it fails its MOT first time? Then that would require four journeys 😭 Wondering if there's already a thread on here for garage recommendations? People on my road WhatsApp group have recommended some local ones. I'm particularly gutted because apart from the lovely people who worked there,  Dell was a five minute walk for me!

      Fireworks

      I did think that might be the reason, but five years out of seven it's going to be a weekday (I think. Not sure how leap years might affect things!)

      Fireworks

      By first mate · Posted

      Probably because the 5th was a weekday. We still have the weekend to come. Also, some fireworks going off nearly every night for the last few months. Last night something was being let off that made a very deep booming noise every 10 seconds or so. That said, if the general public are beginning to see the harm done by firework noise and choosing to use low noise options and refusing to support organised events that still use the full throttle type, I for one would be very happy. Does anyone know if the Herne Hill Velodrome Halloween fireworks event used low noise options?
