Pooping 6 times a day

My breastfed 7 week old still has massive poos 6-7 times a day. She doesn’t poop during the night anymore it’s all in the daytime but I’ve seen so many people say their baby’s only poop once a day or every other day, is she pooping to much?

My 11 week old pooped a good five times yesterday and I’m pretty sure I’ve done three 💩 nappies so far today 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ just different babies I think. It would save LOADS of money on nappies if he’d decide to 💩 less 🤣

My 11 week old poos more than 10 times, maybe up to 15 although not all big ones. He has suspected milk allergy but I’m not convinced yet… the pooing is absolutely insane though. I really really would be happy with 3 per day x

and he does it at night 😭

My baby is formula fed but I was in hospital with her yesterday and just having a general chat with nurses, they were in agreement that it’s normal for 7 week old breastfed babies to dirty every nappy 😊

My baby is 90% breast milk and maybe 1 formula bottle a day. He can go up to 5 days without a poop but averages 1 - 2 poops a week. But my god is it a blow out when it comes 🥴

My baby still poos about 6 times a day too, and same not at night anymore.

Dummies🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Has anyone got any tips on how to GET RID of dummies😂🤦🏼‍♀️ my little girl is obsessed and i have no idea where to start!!

Breastfeeding

Does it ever feel better? The actual feeding part of it is going really well and baby boy is growing so well. I’m struggling with how my boobs feel day to day - it’s really getting me down most days. The let downs make me feel awful and sounds silly but, I am also really missing not wearing a bra! 9 weeks postpartum and still getting fairly engorged, even with comfort pumping.

Any advice or just shared stories would help. I’m so torn between carrying on because I enjoy the feeding side of it or switching to formula.

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Big nursing bras!

I’m looking for recommendations for good nursing bras for bigger breasted ladies!

I’m currently in a 38H which seems to be the biggest size done at M&S (UK based mama here) and it’s snug and not as supportive as I’d like. When I look online, they mainly seem to be sized S, M, L, XL etc rather than bra sizes.

Any recommendations please?

Strange question

Hello. I would identify myself as asexual but yes i am married and i have a child. But now that ive had my baby. I think its solidified that im done having sex. I feel bad as my partner keeps asking me but i just dont want to. Any advice on what i can do? Any other asexual moms out there? I guess this could be confusing but im not huge on being bound by a label. I have just always felt it represented me best since highschool.

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗
