Change in number of dirty nappies

My little one is 5 months tomorrow and is teething pretty badly at the moment. Due to that he is having teething powders and we are alternating between Calpol and Nurofen. However, there has been a huge change in his nappies. He has always been a one dirty nappy a day kind of baby. However, the last few days he is doing 5/6 dirty nappies every day and normally straight after a bottle. These nappies are really loose, some are pretty slimy (sorry for the details) and he’s blowing out of the nappies on a regular basis, due to consistency. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is this down to his teething or could it be something else?

I found my baby’s nappies have always been loose and lots when having calpol and when she was cutting teeth they was really bad too xx

Yes! We had 10 yesterday🫠 we’ve noticed the change for almost 2 weeks now and the tooth still isn’t through. I’m so bored of changing dirty nappies🤣 definitely down to the teething though as she’s fine in herself and not getting dehydrated. Glad I’m not alone!

@Joely it’s continuous isn’t it? I’ve changed 3 this morning already and two outfit changes! Pampers aren’t even holding it in! I was starting to get worried that he was unwell but then he is fine in himself, with no temperature or off his milk. Thank you.

@Jasmin thank you. I was worried that he was unwell but he’s ok in himself and still drinking his milk. I just wanted reassurance that this was normal 😌

@Emily Thomas absolutely relentless! We’ve also done 3 so far today - definitely makes me feel better to know we’re not alone.

We had this for nearly 2 weeks, then he went back to normal. Doctor thought it was a bug but it did coincide with the start of teething

We had this 3 days ago, then the following day was fine, yesterday was bad again and today has been fine. Also teething here too

I’ve had the same as Alice and put mine down to teething, no tooth cut yet. They did calm down after 10 days or so.

My girl is 4.5 months.. hasn't had calpol or anything but has had a cold and she has gone from pooping every other day to about 5 times a day and some have also been very mucussy

@Leanne yes, my Lo’s dirty nappies have had mucas in them too. That’s what scared me slightly too.

@Emily Thomas my girls had the poops for a week now so I'm going to contact health visitor Monday if she is still like it. She is absolutely fine within herself now so unsure if it's because she's had a cold the past week x
