So my little guy is 2 months and 2 weeks and has always been a 1-3x/day pooper. Well in the last week or so he has been having a BM after (or during) pretty much every meal - so 5-6x daily. We saw the pediatrician on Friday and they basically said they weren't concerned because he's still gaining weight and didn't show any signs of dehydration. I'm wondering though if anyone else has experienced this? I'm just curious as to why the change? Is it something I'm eating? Did he pick up a little stomach bug. Etc? They acted like this was normal but I'm curious if anyone else has been experiencing this as well?

Also baby is EBF

Yeah that's normal my little man has days like that and then some days only goes once. He kinda bounces back and forth with it.

ok, thank you!

This is really common with breastfed babies because breastmilk is digested quicker than formula... mine does the same

My baby has been like this since birth… normal but super exhausting. Every time she gets to sleep she poops and then wants to eat again 😅

That’s very normal, since your baby is so reliable you could try to catch your baby’s poop in a portable potty and save the diaper. I’ve been trying to catch my baby pooping for this reason, saving on diapers, but haven’t had such luck. But he doesn’t go as often as your baby seems to. But yeah I’ve heard of breastmilk making babies poop after a feed.

Hey ladies what’s a BM?

bowel movement 💩
