soiling

How often does your little darling poop ??

Bubs is now 8 weeks old and i am exclusively breastfeeeding.. usually about every 2 n half or 3 hours ...

bubs poops about 4 times a day - often fluro green and diarreah..

does this sound right ??

(he also has about 4 wet nappies on top of that too)

Hi,
DS goes several times a day. He is 3 and half months old so I'm still learning myself Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong though...
Your baby's poo should not be green. Maybe he is getting too much foremilk?? Does he seem to have a sore tummy at all?

My wee boy is coming up 6 weeks and we are exclusively BF on the same sort of schedule as you.

He poos anything from once a day to maybe 4 times a day. They did go greenish for a day or two and I asked the MW about it, mainly because as well as the colour change it wasn't looking 'seedy'. She said it sounded like he was getting mostly the foremilk. I make sure that if he feeds for a short time, the next time I pop him on the same side and his poos have gone back to yellowy and seedy looking, so I know he's getting the fatty milk. Mind you, he's growing at a rate of knots, so I doubt he was missing out on much before.

He has wet nappies at every feed and sometimes in between too. He doesn't like sitting in a wet nappy so always lets us know.

It doesn't sound like diarreah to me, not frequent enough, just normal BF baby poo.

yes it sounds like ihe may not be getting enough of the hind milk.. he is very good at drinking for about 10 min and then he starts fussing and wont drink anymore..i persevere but its not easy.

I have made an appointment to see plunket clinic on Thur am so hope they can help.

ps hes growing and gaining weight so im not too stressed at this stage

thanks for your support and suggestions
