August 2026 Babies 🇬🇧

Anyone else baby pooing like 6 times a day🤣 my baby is 4 weeks, and has already poo liked 3 times today..this last time while I was cleaning him up, he did it on my hand😂 Please I'll like to know is this normal as this is my first baby

I’m exclusively breastfeeding and catching the letdown milk from the other boob with a milk collector. Baby is only 2 weeks but our freezer is full already 😳 I’d be happy to donate milk since I plan on mainly BF and not sure what to do with all that extra milk, but the next milk bank is an hour away by public transport across town and requires multiple health screenings. I don’t have the energy or time with a newborn to do that.

What is everyone doing with their surplus milk if they have any?? I just can’t stand the thought of just wasting it 😭

Other than the usual bicycle legs/knees up/sitting up/tummy massages. I’ve tried everything I can find on Google and YouTube but wondering if anyone has any secret hacks that work for them? My 2 week old was awake for 3 hours straight, straining & crying to poop. I changed 5 nappies in those 3 hours but she’s still not done, still straining and refusing to sleep.

My baby had a really wet nappy on Saturday just gone and I’m talking it was like water, they firmed back up but this morning they are like water again and I don’t know why? At first I thought it was the prep machine so I’ve gone back to kettle method but then his poos are liquid again today? He’s 4 weeks and 2 days old, could this just be completely normal? He has no symptoms of a bug or dehydration and he’s fine in himself!

Did anyone change from normal milk to comfort without speaking with their HV?

I have a 5 week old and they still only poop once every other day, constantly crying about wind and sometimes seems to struggle to pass wind, we’ve tried loads of natural ways to pass the wind (bicycle kicks etc) and have on the advice of midwives done infacol and optibac and it’s not really made much difference.

We were wondering if we just try the comfort milk if it would help? Didn’t know if we had tell the health visitor though before switching or can try it and then discuss it with them..?
