My wee man is 30 days old today and his poo is a glorious yellowey pumkin colour. He's being bottlefed beast milk because he hasn't figured out what breasts are for yet. It's very depressing.
That black poo is call meconium and it's the gunk that they get in their system while they are in utero... it's normally gone a few days after birth.
But yeah, the joy of babies fed on breast milk is that "their shit don't stink". Poos from breast milk have a faint and almost sweet smell and seeing as we are using disposable nappies (while he's this little the cloth nappies we have are just TOO big) it's really handy being able to chuck a spent nappy in a plastic rubbish bag by the side of the bed and just go to sleep and not worry about it stinking out the room. *giggle*
Sleep is the coolest thing ever.. don't ever knock it. ^_^
