Poo colour - EBF

My baby is ebf and used to only pop once a day and it was a mustard colour. He’s started pooing a lot again, like about 5 poos in a day, and this week they’ve been a dark green colour. I called the health visitor and she said if he seems well and still feeding it should be fine, but has anyone else had this and know why?

It could be caused by a feed moving too quickly through the digestive system so there wasn't a chance for it to change colour. It could be nothing and just a bit of a green poo. If baby is well and not showing signs of being ill then it won't be anything bad. My little girl gets the occasional gree poo, yesterday sue had one the colour of spinach

My LO had green poo for about 2/3 weeks at 2 months old. I phoned the GP who said green is usual for EBF babies & that he was not concerned. It has since returned to yellow and sometimes still get the occasional green one!

Someone recommended I follow "the milk rebel " on insta when I was worried about changes to 💩 🤣

Thanks guys!
