My baby has mucus in his poop. Sometimes it is green but those are more the fart/small poops.

Sometimes it’s just the stringy mixed in but a few times he has had globs.

I’ve cut out dairy and don’t notice a difference. Should I cut out eggs, soy, etc… or just let the gut mature. He gains weight well and isn’t too fussy. Just on occasion he has a good cry, mainly overtired I assume.

What are your thoughts? Please help.

Did you introduce probiotics for a gassy baby? If so when and what did you notice? Unsure whether to ride out the gassy phase or do something about it.

Baby is 8 weeks today.

Baby had very mind symptoms. Just gassy (could be normal newborn stuff) and mucus in some stools - I’m cutting dairy for now and he is 8 weeks.

My last baby definitely had the same poops but I didn’t know any better I guess.

When did you reintroduce dairy for a mild sensitivity (if that)??

My son hasn’t had a witching hour the past two nights and I haven’t had dairy either. He is 7 weeks today. Is it a coincidence?

I can NOT tell if he has dairy intolerance. He is fussier than my other son but nothing crazy. Does have night time witching hours.

No eczema, rarely spits up and if he does it’s minimal.

Stuffy in morning, sneezes, sometimes hiccups but they’ve been fading. He has woke up gagging a few times in the 7 weeks after big feeds with no burps.

Poops (or sharts) pretty often (almost every feed) but they’ve also minimized the last few weeks.

DOES click when nursing but LC said it’s my letdown. But can also nurse without clicking too. Better at night in laying down position.

Gassy and grunting from around 4-7 am.

Prefers being held but will sleep in bed with my and cosleep.

Gains weight like a madman - a pound a week.

Does have some mucus poops and occasionally a green shart. Pediatrician wasn’t concerned and said it’s normal. NEVER blood.

What do you think and what are your experiences? Is this just a normal baby and I’m overthinking?

Additional:
I’ve felt gassy myself since having a baby but I’m wondering, could I all of a sudden be sensitive to dairy or is it my electrolytes?!

My EFB has been not wanting to feed every 3 hours. He is usually really good about eating and has always been very good at breastfeeding. He was born at 8 lbs and over the almost 7 weeks (Friday) he will have gain 6 lbs. 14 lbs now.
However the past 2 days he has been not wanting to feed at the 3 hr mark. He will scream upset. I’ve assumed he has mild reflux due to stuffiness, some gagging and some choking.
I don’t wait for hunger cues because I try every 3 hours. Is it common for an almost 7 week old to want to go 4 hours between feeds during the day?
