[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 473938, member: 1991"] I was concerned about lactose problems in easy child so had her on soy milk once weaned off the breast. I've since been told that soy is also a problem, a lot of babies can develop sensitivity or allergy to soy protein. We didn't have that problem with easy child, but I would not use soy now for that reason. It could be lactose problems, but it could also be that she has a bit of a cold and the mucus from the cold is filling her tummy and causing problems. I saw this too. Especially nasty in babies that are solely breast-fed, because the mucus from the cold has the same effect as suddenly putting the baby on solids. Darker skinned babies do look different in the poop. I remember when easy child was in child care. She was very pale-skinned but two other babies the same age were very different in appearance. One was Greek, the other was from Uganda and very, very dark-skinned (hair like liquorice cotton candy!). At first glance, poop on the Ugandan baby looked mustard-coloured while on my baby, it looked browner. But when both babies were being changed at the same time, we could see the poop was exactly the same colour. Marg [/QUOTE]
