Does she take any iron supplements? Some milk or cereals contain a good amount iron and can cause greenish poop...my older DD's poop is green the days she takes cereal with milk and normal colour the days she doesn't.

She takes pap, she does not like formular or cereal

Good morning all,how best can a breastmilk been expressed be stored;Via freezer or fridge. And a situation of having just a freezer @ home,Hw can it be kept in d freezer to avoid contamination wit other things been stored.

Airtight container (they have bottles and breast milk storage bags) label them with a date. Breastmilk is fine in the fridge if the baby is drinking it soon. Freezer is for long term storage. Thaw it at room temperature.

You can also place the bottles with breast milk in freezer bags or plastic bowls to avoid the smells/possible contamination from other foods in the freezer

That green poop may be a sign of food not being digested well by the baby's intestines. It's why you see formula fed babies with green slightly hard poop.

For babies who don't like eating, Can you try something different, not pap or cereal but check online for an entirely new recipe. Babies have tastebuds developing, Baby E has rejected the formula she normally takes and I suspect its because it's bitter compared to my BM. which means that when I start her on solids, I may make that pap but blend maybe a fruit with natural sugars in it (like strawberry or Quaranta local bananas something sweet that is a fruit, Orange isn't sweet). As a child I was the worst eater (the food wasn't sweet but they kept forcing it on me). So my sister used her experiences with me to plan meals for her own kids.

You should start expressing now, so you have an idea of the quantity you would be able to store away for the day(that is if you don't already express oh). Also if you haven't started bottle feeding the baby, you better start TODAY. Infact you should give her bottles all day from now so she gets used to it before Monday. It'll ensure that she's adjusted and doesn't hassle her carers too much when you are at work.

My Baby did same. Even, there is a way you will laugh, he will shout and cry. When my dh noticed it, He began to shout, laugh hard and loud near him. Then with time, my baby stopped crying.

Sorry mama but I don't think that's a nice response to her plight. No mom wants to hear she's not feeding her child plus I don't see how it relates to green poop.
My two cents..
madam what is bad about my response,it depend on how u understand it.I didn't say she is not feeding her baby,I responded based on her post ad d answer I got from my kids pedestrians When I experienced what she is passing through now.when I was told I started Forcing my baby food ad d stool change to normal colour

There's Cerelac rice with milk for 6 months. It's very smooth for a start. I add formula though cos I don't know the quantity of milk the cereal contains. The fat content is quite high oh, just in case your baby is on the big side.

Seconded.

Not eating well doesn't relate to green poop. It's d iron content of what d baby is eating. It happened to my son. I got so worried that I took a diaper containing d poop to d hospital lol but d Paed said everything was fine it's just d iron content in his milk

I think what she meant is the baby is not emptying one b reast before proceeding to the next...which in turn makes him get more foremilk than the fat-rich hind milk. My baby had it too, and it stopped when I adjusted

So her saying 'not eating well' might be not properly sucking right
