Colour changing poo!! Started orange and 2 hours later it was green?!

Ok, so I changed sammuel at the doctors and at a baby group today, both orange/yellow... I put his nappies in the bag and when I got them out at home (they're re-usable) the poo had turned green!

Has this happened to anyone else?!

Yes and it's normal, when the poo comes into contact with air it oxidises and thus changes colour xx

haha... i've notice this too. the diapers in the diaper pail (cloth diapers) are green but hers are always yellow/orange when they come out

Yes, and the little curds change colour before the rest of the poo does, so if you change the nappy and it looks like Dijon mustard with fresh parsley in, you should have changed the nappy some time ago, because the poo is oxidising already!
