Anyone else’s LO 💩 for England?

My little guy is only 5 days old but he is constantly pooping! He had 8 poos today and yesterday, and 7 the day before, they aren’t massive but more than just a “share” 🤣. The midwives have said it’s fine but it seems excessive- especially compared to my little girl who was only pooping about once a day when she was the same age.

Make that 9 poops today 🙈

Do we have the same son? 😅 we’ve figured it’s down to some small changes in his diet (increase in both formula and milk, now it’s come in) as well as the usual changes they experience in colour etc. Like you say, it feels excessive but also seems to be treated as a positive indicator!

My little boy has the opposite problem at the moment not enough and constantly straining trying to get things moving. Gp says it's normal and will get better over time but it's hard watching him so uncomfortable 😔

Is he breastfed ? I was so surprised as well cause my first son he did like 2-3 on average but my girl was doing like 7-9 a day when she was week old . Now she is 5 weeks , does about 2-3 a day . Completely normal x

My little girl used to poo after every feed, my little boy however poos once every other day and I get so excited about it😂😂

@Jess ok this is reassuring, as I was genuinely starting to worry he might have diarrhoea, so glad we’re not the only ones! My little has been breastfed from day 1 so hasn’t had any feeding changes, maybe it’s just the way out little guys are built, and we have to live either way the fact we’ll be spending a hell of a lot in nappies! 😂

@Nicol yes he is being breastfed, as was my daughter - good to know it reduced down to a more reasonable amount for your little girl as we are going through nappies like there ms no tomorrow right now! 😂

@Tori it’s the tiny little ones that get annoying we find…like just go all in and get it out mate and let’s make the nappy worth it 😅 If it’s not the poos we’re being showered in wee at every change at the moment too, it’s quite the adventure.

@Jess I completely relate,definitely sounds like are boys are cut from the same cloth! 😂

@Holley we put a prebiotic in my daughters milk because she had the same problem, worked really well you can use either colief multibiotic drops (blue box) or optibac newborn drops (pink box) Or if you’re desperate the pre made formula bottles contain a laxative and that also works! Just give one xx
