Color me grossed out

Baby poop is very well documented. It's supposed to start out very dark, like black tar, and then become yellow and seedy (sorry) once breastfeeding begins. So imagine my surprise last Friday when Georgie's diaper was green and full of what looked like grass. I immediately wondered what I had eaten - kale? Spinach? But it didn't go away so I called the doctor. Apparently this can happen if you have an oversupply of milk - who knew having too MUCH could be a problem - so I can't pump anymore for a while. But the green stuff keeps popping up (or out), so today I asked the doctor again. She said as long as the poop is "fall colored," there's no reason to worry. How hilarious - orange, yellow, green, brown - all good! Purple, blue, pink, white -not so much.
