			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ohh the joys of motherhood <img src='http://bloggymommy.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />   After we got back from our vacation I noticed that my baby&#8217;s poop had dark colored specks in it, mixed with the usual breastfed birdseedy yellow.  I immediately freaked out and researched what this could be online.  Some websites said it could be something I ate that got into my breastmilk, others said if it was black that it could be blood.  I was very scared at this point, and stared hard and long at the poop to determine if it was &#8220;dark&#8221; or &#8220;black&#8221;.  I consulted with my husband, who declared that it was a very dark green&#8230;not much help!</p>
<p>I called the baby&#8217;s pediatric office and spoke to a nurse there.  She kind of acted like I was a little loony and said she&#8217;d have to see the poop to make a determination, but that the baby was probably fine if he wasn&#8217;t inconsolable and didn&#8217;t have a fever (he was fine).  I later spoke to my pediatrician who was unconcerned and decided that it was something I ate after all.  After a few poops, the problem seemed to correct iself <img src='http://bloggymommy.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I thought my worries with what comes out of the end of my baby were over, when I noticed a funny smell while changing his diaper (not funny haha <img src='http://bloggymommy.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> .  I couldn&#8217;t identify the smell, just knew it smelled &#8220;off&#8221;.  I googled what could be the cause (notice, I research EVERYTHING), and it ranged from &#8220;don&#8217;t worry about it&#8221; to &#8220;your child has maple syrup urine disorder&#8221;(huh?).  I&#8217;m still monitoring the smell, but he seems in good spirits and does not have a fever or anything.  I don&#8217;t want to be the mom who calls the pediatrician every other day, so I&#8217;m going to wait this one out as everything seems ok.</p>
<p>I feel like a total nut <img src='http://bloggymommy.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
