A baby's first bowel movement, called meconium, is usually passed within 24 hours after birth. Meconium is very dark green to black, thick, and sticky. It is made up of shed cells and debris that accumulated in the womb. Your baby should transition to more normal poops within two to four days. While a new baby's digestive system is maturing, they will produce stool that is very different from what is considered healthy in older children and adults. Because of their liquid diet, healthy infant bowel movements are not solid and should be the consistency of peanut butter or pudding. It is normal for formula-fed babies to produce thicker, bulkier poop than breastfed infants.  Diarrhea in infants is extremely watery and may leak past the diaper and onto your baby's back. Call your doctor if your baby has diarrhea and is under 3 months old, has had diarrhea for more than a day, or is exhibiting other symptoms like fever.  Solid bowel movements are a sign of constipation. A sporadic pebbly diaper is no cause for alarm, but consult a doctor if it happens frequently. Severe constipation may be paired with diarrhea if the watery stool leaks past the hard blockage. Baby stools are generally lighter and can range from yellow to green to light brown. Do not be alarmed by color changes. As your baby's digestive system matures, changes to enzyme production and transit time will produce variety.  Dark brown is a sign of constipation. Black stools after meconium is cleared can mean bleeding. Small flecks of black similar to poppy seeds are most likely caused by swallowed blood from an irritated nipple. Do not be alarmed if your baby is taking an iron supplement, as this also produces black stools. Very pale yellow or chalky gray can be a sign of liver problems or infection. A healthy newborn baby will have anywhere from 1 to 8 bowel movements each day, with an average of 4. Like adults, each baby will have their own "normal" rhythm. However, talk to your doctor if your formula-fed baby has less than one bowel movement per day, or your breastfed baby has less than one every 10 days. Your baby's stools should smell less pungent, almost sweet. It is normal for formula-fed babies to have bowel movements that smell stronger than those of breastfed infants. Bowel movements should begin to smell more like an adult's once your baby transitions to solid food.

Summary: Avoid being alarmed by meconium. Check the consistency. Notice the color. Be aware of frequency. Notice the smell.


That's it—according to the official website for the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM), all that's needed to become a Pastafarian is to want to be one. You do not need to:  Participate in any sort of ceremony Pay any sort of fee Make any sort of promise or pledge Give up your current religion Know anything about Pastafarianism Have a literal belief in the FSM So you've just become a Pastafarian by willing yourself to be one? Great! Now's the perfect time to learn what you've just signed on for. The following are some of the fundamental pillars that make up the beliefs of the Pastafarian religion—however, you don't have to literally believe in them to be a member:  The supreme deity is known as the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM). He is an invisible, omnipotent, omniscient eternal being that takes the form of a giant clump of spaghetti with two meatballs and eyes. He created the entire universe in four days, then rested for three. Pirates are considered holy beings. According to the religion, pirates help fight global warming and protect against natural disasters. Every Pastafarian should strive towards pirate-hood. Pastafarian heaven is a land of "beer volcanoes and stripper factories." Many adherents believe that it will accommodate the desires of every person, so the volcano can also produce non-alcoholic drinks, and the stripper factory will accommodate personal preferences, including preferences related to gender or whether to interact with the strippers at all. For a great introduction to your new religion, try browsing any of the Pastafarian scriptures. The most important book to Pastafarians is the Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. The Quill Award-nominated Gospel was published in 2006 following an open letter by author Bobby Henderson to the Kansas State Board of Education that satirically protested its ruling requiring the teaching of intelligent design in public schools. The Gospel discusses the various aspects of Pastafarian belief in depth, making it indispensable for new members. Another major Pastafarian holy book is The Loose Canon (available online), which includes religious stories, guides for everyday life, prayers, and the writings of numerous important figures in the church such as Captain Jeff.

Summary: Simply wish to join the church! Learn the basic beliefs of Pastafarianism. Study the sacred texts of Pastafarianism.
