When we talk about baby diarrhea, the picture that comes to mind is usually: much runnier, more frequent, and in bigger amounts than normal—sometimes it shoots out of the diaper. The color can be green, yellow, brown, or dark; there might be mucus (slimy stuff) or bits of undigested food. The smell is stronger and more unpleasant than usual. You'll be changing diapers a lot more often.
The thing to remember is that normal for your baby might look loose to someone else—so pay attention to what's *new* for your baby. If the frequency and texture are way more than usual, that's diarrhea. Newborns naturally have very loose poop, so in those early weeks it's really about a sudden change in how often.
Diarrhea with vomiting, fever, looking exhausted, no tears when crying, or no wet diapers for 8+ hours means call the pediatrician right away.
