Need advice about my 9 month old's weird p**p ?

Question

My daughter is 9 months. She has a hole in her heart and needs extra calories to maintain a weight gain because her heart works harder than a normal child's but she is otherwise fine and normal. Except her p**p has been very strange for the last 4 weeks. It hasn't been normal in a while. I've seen yellow-orange mucusy and very curdy as well as dark green and liquidy or sometimes slightly pastey. Lots of the time there is undigested food present as well. She is on solid foods (finger foods) and Good Start formula- which does make stools greener than other formulas. She also has not gotten any teeth yet and I do suspect she is teething. Has anyone else seen these types of poops in their solid food eating babies?

Answer 1

Stools will get greenish and/or mucusy if the baby is sick.  It can stay green for a while even after they get over their cold.  

My baby girl (8.5 mo's old, eats cereals, veggies, and breast-fed) gets quite mucusy p**p when she teethes.  She's had green/slimy/runny p**p for several weeks as well (4 teeth coming all at once).  It is not unusual for me to find bits of carrot in her p**p as well - it's hard to digest.

Apparently teething changes the nature of their saliva (something about softening the gum tissue) and that saliva can cause tummy upsets, mucusy p**p and bum rashes.

Answer 2

All I know is that mucus is bad news.

Why have you not been to the doctor with her yet?

Are you not worried about her? I'd be going mad by now.

4 weeks a long time to wait and then only to ask here seems just a touch irresponsible to me (not trying to sounds rude, but probably am)
