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.

Peace of mind please

I shot up at 4am last night and had the urge to check my little boy who sleeps in a cot next to our bed.
For the first time he has rolled over and was sleeping on his stomach, my heart dropped.
I was so scared that I picked him up to make sure he was okay and he was just sound asleep…

What are we supposed to do if they roll over in their sleep?! He’s almost 6 months old and I’m prettified of him rolling and it being a different outcome if I don’t wake up..

Just need some peace of mind that this is
okay?

Baby slept all night

Sorry, I just need to post this... my little boy is 12w5d and he slept through from 9:30-6am, woke for a feed and went back to sleep until 8:30!!! I can't believe it. I was obviously up every few hours checking on him and making sure he was ok, so I didn't get a full nights sleep 🤣 but I'm so pleased for him! 🎉🥳 (not a brag btw, I'm just so pleased and wanted to share)

Car seat

This car seat says 0-14 months. We bought it when my baby was around 5/6 months when he grew out of the old one and the lady who sold it to us in smyths toy shop said it can be used up until 4 I believe but why does the sticker on it say 0-14 months then? Does anyone e else have this seat the joie 360 spin?

Do any mums who breastfeed and co-sleep — especially once baby doesn’t really need night feeds — ever let their baby cry for a bit in the pram to fall asleep, just so you can have a few minutes to yourself?
A friend suggested this to me, but honestly it breaks my heart. I tried it once and it did work, but I’m not sure I could do it all the time. She’s a childcare teacher and said with sleep training you sometimes let them cry for up to 30 minutes… but I don’t know how people do it.
She also mentioned that a lot of mums here on the Gold Coast, Australia do it during the day when their baby’s tired — letting them fall asleep in the pram so they can have a coffee or catch up with friends without having to rush home for a nap.
I just feel like it might not be good for their nervous system and it doesn’t sit right with me… but then again, I’m also a first-time mum.

moving to cows milk

hi! my boy is one next week and changing to cows milk is really confusing me. he is fed to sleep sith formula three times a day, before his two naps and bedtime. how do i change to cows milk, especially if ideally the cows milk shouldn’t go in a bottle? i just so lost and quite dusted by the whole process. i have a munchkin miracle 360 cup and he can drink through a straw or open cup but before bed seems very disruptive to the routine

Would you consider a baby not talking at the age of 1 a developmental delay?

Based off a recent post, someone said that a child that doesn’t speak at the age of 1 is developmentally delayed.

Do you agree?
