At first papyrus was only used in Egypt, but by about 1000 BC people all over West Asia began buying papyrus from Egypt and using it, since it was much more convenient than clay tablets (less breakable, and not as heavy!). People made papyrus in small sheets and then glued the sheets together to make big pieces.
Your baby's first poo is called meconium. This is sticky and greenish-black. Some babies may do this kind of poo during or after birth, or some time in the first 48 hours. After a few days the poo will change to a yellow or mustard colour.
Meconium aspiration syndrome is respiratory distress in a newborn who has breathed (aspirated) meconium into the lungs before or around the time of birth.Fetuses may pass stools (meconium) in response to stress, such as a lack of oxygen.econium aspiration syndrome is often most severe in postmature newborns because they have a smaller volume of amniotic fluid so the meconium is concentrated in a smaller amount of amniotic fluid (see Postmaturity).
