Breastfed babies bowel movements are different. Why?

Q: My 3 mo old is exclusively breastfed, and is fed bottles of expressed milk during the work day. Today and one day last week his stool looked MUCH different than normal. Unlike the normal seedy looking yellowish stool, these are just runny yellow liquid, no seedy things and not nearly as voluminous as normal. Any idea why? He has a bm two to three times a day on average. I am going to call the nurse in the a.m. to see what she has to say, but I thought I would get some ideas tonight. Thanks.

A: My 9 month old is also exclusively breastfeed and I noticed the same change in his stool around 3 – 4 months as well. As they get older their poo does change, but if it’s extra watery you may want to take him to his doctor just to rule out diarrhea.

Why is this bowel movement so stange?

Q: This is gross, sorry but it has been bothering me. When I was 11 I went to the restroom and had an experience that I have never had since and I always wondered what it was that caused it.I was squating down like normal b/c I was in a public place, and when it came out it was fast, loud and violently squirted directly behind me onto the wall. I am not talking about a little bit of splatter I am talking about the entire bowel movement shot back onto the wall with great pressure. And to make it even weirder it was yellow with chunks and looked like throw up and smelled like throw up. It wasn’t just yellowish brown but pure yellow with some other chunks of color in there as well. I remember being so embarassed that I lied and said I didn’t do it to the janitor who replied “If you threw up youre not in trouble but tell us so we can send you home.” Anyways, has this ever happened to anyone else?

A: lol your stomache was upset… but if i were you i would be concerned about WHERE it went and not the color
