How often is your baby pooping?

My baby girl has been on cow and Gate since day 1, she's now 6 weeks old. She's never been a regular poo-er and generally went once a day, almost a watery explosion. We changed her to kendamil last night and she's pooed 4 times since (more so little and often and a bit more solid than it was before). She's passing wind out the back end so much better too. 4 times a day at 6 weeks seems quite a lot especially when we've gone from 1 daily, so just wondering how often babies the same age are pooing?

I've got a 6 week old boy, I wish I had this problem.. hes the complete opposite. He can have 1 day but can go with out for a couple of days. He tries every time he's awake. It's awful. I was on cow and Gate and then aptamil now I'm on sma and when he finally goes its the right consistency. Not like little pebbles! I wouldn't worry she may just have an active bowl and that's a good thing. X

Mines 6 weeks and there’s a poo in every nappy, probably at least 6 in 24 hours 😂

I'm combi feeding, but mostly cow and gate formula due to my supply is low. She generally goes once a day, but sometimes can have a day without- which they say can be normal for formula fed babies!

Formula fed boy here and he's usually 2 to 4 a day plus all his wind comes out the bottom so sometimes we think it's a pooey one and it was only a fart!

Formula fed on mamia ( aldi ) and my son goes between once and twice a day.

Bottle refusal

EBF and deciding I want a bit more flexibility so wanted to introduce a bottle so I can go out more.

She used to take one three months ago. Now she flat out refuses and cries - doesn’t matter if it’s expressed breastmilk or formula. Tried it in a sippy cup as well. What can I do?

shower infront of children

Is it weird to shower infront of your children, or your children see you naked?
At what age should this stop?

I’m just looking at what everyone’s thoughts are as I have a 7 month old and at the moment it’s hard for me to shower without him getting upset.

We contact nap atm, otherwise I'd shower when he sleeps!

It’s easier to bring his play mat into the bathroom whilst I shower so i can at least wash, else i have to wait for my husband to arrive home at 5/6pm.

Keen to see what people's opinions are and how other people do this!

GIRL DADS TAKING DAUGHTER TO BATHROOM IN PUBLIC

If a girl dad needs to take his daughter to the bathroom in public and there are no family bathrooms … I swear video online of a dad saying he uses the women’s bathroom but always knocks and announces ‘girl dad helping my daughter go to the bathroom’ and I love that idea and mens rooms are disgusting but wanted to see everyone’s thoughts
