Nappy problems...

Does anyone else have issues with their babies pooing through? I love aldis nappies and I've moved onto pull ups as I find them much easier/better maybe I need to go up a size but I feel like I've only just done that 🫣 my baby poos about 3 or 4 times a day generally which also seems like a lot to me? He's just over…

Constipation?

My baby hasn't pooped in over a day. Could that mean he's constipated? If so, what works best to help with that? Is it normal for babies not to poop for a few days or so?

Has anyone experienced very dark looking poo due to stress? Like it looks black in the toilet but then when you wipe it’s very very dark green. This is definetly not food related.

I poo very little each time and have diarrea. The first two times were brown and then the last one looked black in the toilet bowl- but when I wiped it was dark green with black bits.
