Video: The ABCs of a Newborn's Poop

Sunday March 9, 2008
My son has been sick lately and our doctor wanted us to get a stool sample. He's 12 so dealing with his poop is miles from what it was like when he was a baby. It made me wish I could go back to the days of dealing with those mustard yellow, seedy looking breast milk poops that hardly smelled a bit.

For newborns, the first few days are the scariest and after that things settle to normal depending on what feeding method you're using. Learn what you can expect in your newborn's diaper.
