Brown liquid

Watery (no solid pieces)

Watery poos may occur occasionally in otherwise healthy babies. Breastfed infants may have very soft or even watery poos. If your baby passes three or more watery poos within 24 hours, or has watery poos over a longer period, this could be diarrhoea. Diarrhoea causes rapid loss of water. The younger the baby and the more frequent the watery poos, the bigger the concern.If your baby has diarrhoea, or you are concerned, please contact your healthcare professional immediately. Do not give your baby any anti-diarrhoea medication, oral supplements, or other remedies unless advised by your healthcare professional.

Brown

Formula-fed babies and those who have started solid foods will usually have yellow, dark orange, or brown poos. Breastfed babies will frequently have mustard colored poos. Sometimes, even the odd green poo, but if this happens regularly, speak with your healthcare professional. This is not a medical assessment or diagnosis. It is general information only. Always seek the advice of your healthcare professional.
