My newborn us 4 days old i am breastfeeding I just want to know how newborn  stool should look. Im a ftm and sooo paranoid with everything that looks off. Today her poo looks yellow/brown and watery.. Any veteran moms who breastfed ever see this ? ? I know her digestive system is developing Im just worried because of the watery texture. She is eating well not fussy or anything that looks like she is hurting . Pls help.

Make sure you have a Healthy diet. Whatever you eat, she consumes it also. You should prprobably increase your Fiber in take. Sometimes breastfeed babies don't poop every day.

Yup she is good. If you are breast feeding then it should look like that and your baby will go often. Keep in mind any time you change their diet like introduce formula it well change again and they even get constipated for a few days. So don't worry it's all normal congrats

It's perfectly normal. I breastfed all 3 of my kids and that's exactly how it's supposed to look at this stage. Don't worry, sounds like you're doing a good job =)
