Can a baby poo too much? (tmi!!)
in Baby
hey,
Louise is 7 months, on 3 meals a day and may have snacks. she has been doing about 5/6 poo's a day for a couple of weeks. (She is still breastfed.)
To begin with she seemed to have a tummy bug but it's not watery any more. Some are big/small/soft/runny. She is teething - has 1 tooth and 2nd one just popping through the gum.
So, can a bsby poo too much?
thanks!

i dont think theres a problem cameron is 8 months, he poos 3 times a day, more when teething and if shes breastfed she will poo more than a formula fed baby anyway. if theyr not wet and sloppy i wouldnt worry too much
As long as it's not still diarhhea I don't think it's a problem. Just make sure you clean her bum with water & not wipes as wipes always made my lo's sore bum worse.
Its totally normal hun, dont worry.

my lo was same - if you have ruled out an infection or allergy etc I'm sure its fine; just have to keep giving plenty to drink!
Lily is the same! Going through so many nappies at the min!

we have ruled out an infection, but not an allergy?!
some are sloppy......
I do clean her with water and cotton wool when we're home, I gave her lots of nappy off time yesterday which really helped too.
It's such a pain! they've started leaking too.........that all stopped once I started weaning her!
