Somewhat solid poop/4 week old??

[mommyB]

My DS is 4 weeks and he is exclusively breast fed and his poops are always the runny/seedy yellow poops. Well yesterday afternoon I changed his diaper and it was solid. I was so confused because I don't remember my DS1 having a solid poop at such a young age. I picked it up with the baby wipe to feel the consistency and it was soft but stayed together. It wasn't hard or pellet like. Does this seem normal? It's only happened the one time so far. I haven't changed anything in my diet besides trying to cut out dairy because he's been spitting up after feeds. And he always has a wet diaper. I wanted to call the nurse but then felt silly because I always phone them

It's unusual and can be a sign of an allergy or intolerance in a BF baby of that age. Some EBF babies do develop more solid poo later on but it's usually at 4 months+. As you're already cutting out dairy I would see how things go with that. My two that were allergic/intolerant to soya had solid lumps of dried/powdery poo in their nappy, they were like rocks as soon as soya was out of their system it never happened again xx
