Newborn Poop Colors
There is a rainbow of acceptable colors for newborn poops with only a few colors raising concern!
Infant Dehydration
Dehydration is when the body does not have enough water to function at its best. Our bodies do not have a way of storing backup water when needed. For this reason, fluid intake is more important in the short term than food energy intake.
Meconium
While in the uterus, your baby was being entirely nourished by their placenta through their umbilical cord. Because of this, when your baby is born, their first feeding out of the uterus is the first feeding for nutrition they have ever had! Like all feedings thereafter, this first feeding triggers the muscles of their intestines to start to move and squeeze as the first digestive process begins. Usually this will trigger the first bowel movement. This is called Meconium.
