   Okay, so I'm not really sure what's up with this... but last night Chloe had a really weird looking poo! It was like dark gravy, and kind of mucousy and smooth looking. (Gross, I know, sorry!) Her poo is normally a yellow colour, with those little lumps in it... this is so terrible to describe, lol. 
 Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knows what's up with the weird-looking poo? Is it something I should worry about>?

   Hiya, 
Sorry how old is Chloe?
 Eden is 4.5months and every now and then has a poo like the one you described, i dont think its anything to worry about, i thought it was maybe te fact Eden is on formula now and has tried solids, but i wouldnt worry too much about it.
 Soyy im not much help, but honestly Eden seems fine after it, but if you are still worried i would call Plunketline, they are great for everything!

   Rowan's had a few of those. I put them down to mild tummy upsets. She hasn't been bothered by them though.

   My boy has strange poos occasionally too - often when he has too much of one type of food, for example, sultanas.  It doesnt seem to bother him tho and depending on what he ate for the next meal, they change several times a day.

   If breast feeding, it would be a reaction to something you ate that was new.
