Nappy change after every feed

Hi, my baby is 6 days old and ebf. We are changing her nappy after every feed but about 3 times. Ill try and put her on both sides before we change her but she will do one then we change her and straight away she will poo again like instantly after changing the last nappy. We are on 3 nappies one after the other and haven’t slept since about 3am.
I was wondering if anyone else’s baby does this and if you managed to find a way to change them once after, how.

Im not complaining, she’s getting little sleep as we are changing her a lot so she doesn’t get sore and we aren’t getting any sleep and it can’t be nice for her to be changed 3 times in less than 10 mins

Hey, my bby is 2 weeks & My girl usually feeds on 1 side for 30mjns & then poops 2 times then feeds on my other side for 30mins then poops+pees & so on for a few hours at a time! She’ll stay up for 3-4hrs a time just taking little 5-10min naps. We go through a 31 pack of diapers in 2 days during cluster feedings! It’s really good if they are having constant output after feeding! All my doctors & lactation consultants say that it’s great! It means they are getting enough food to poop & grow! Just know u are doing a great job! My baby if i wait 5mins after I hear her first poop she’ll push out 2 more! And that keeps the amount a little lower but not a whole lot you can do to minimize it. But you’ll just have wait til they are older when their bellies are bigger & able to hold more poops/pees!

I always wait 15 minutes after the first wet fart/ sound of poop just to make sure he's done 🤣

same as this 🤣 after the first shart, give him/her 15 mins before you change the nappy as there’s usually more

Babies love to poop in a clean nappy 🫠😂 mine always did that and now occasionally she will still do it

My little one is 12 weeks old now but honestly we went through the same. She pooed so much in the first few weeks but does settle. No tips just promise it gets better! Just like other people say don’t instantly change in case they aren’t done. Give it 10-15 mins. They won’t get sore from that! You are doing a great job muma!

Thank you all, i think im just worried she will get a sore bum too quickly. Ill give it 15 mins after a feed and hopefully she will get more rest and be less uncomfortable. Shes really good with the first few changes bit can tell shes getting irritated by nappy 3/4. We are using cotton wool and water so at least she won’t get sore from wipes being used so often x

We used water wipes from day one and not had any issues at all 😊
If it looked the slightest bit red I would use cream though 😊

I've just started experimenting with pottying our 18 day old. I find she finishes her poos a bit more

Been informed my child is behind her peers

My child is 4 in June and today I had parents evening and her teacher has mentioned she does not hold her pen correctly. It has also been mentioned she does not know numbers or shapes which I was aware of and we have been working on. She has also been put forward for speech therapy.

Any suggestions on what I can try ?
Resources or toys I can purchase?

FTM First night home advice

Wake Windows

Out of interest, how long are your LO's wake windows at 5 months? 🙂

Just need to vent

I think my husband and I are very much diving off a cliff toward divorce.

We’re both exhausted and that’s not helping.

Our daughter is 19 months old and for the last 5 weeks she’s refusing to sleep longer than a few hours in her cot. She wakes up sometimes after 2 hours, sometimes after 5 hours, it’s never consistent, and she then refuses to go back down in her cot. She has to be asleep on someone. It started with her having to sleep on me and hated her dad, then it moved to sleeping on either one of us, and it’s stayed that way ever since.

We’re both not only getting little sleep but we’ve been passing tonsillitis back and for to each other for months now even without being near each other.

We don’t kiss anymore or hold hands, we don’t say I love you very much or show that we do, we don’t do anything intimate… we just co exist in the same house.

I don’t know if it’s because of the constant illnesses or this sleep issue we’re having, but I don’t think we’re going to last much longer. We’re constantly snapping at each other and swearing at each other.

We don’t have time to ourselves because we don’t have a village or anyone available to babysit for us so we can’t get back on track that way.

I just feel like we had a child and everything went wrong.

We’ve only been married 2 and a half years and it’s already falling apart. I’m so disappointed but I’m also so fed up of being spoken to like absolute shit on a daily basis.

I don’t know what I want from this post. I just needed to vent and get it out because I have no friends and nobody to talk to about this stuff.

PPD

Is it possible to get ppd 7 months after having my baby? I was initially REALLY enjoying him, I felt like I was doing so well, but just recently I’m struggling so bad, I am crying constantly, I have no motivation to do literally anything. I am still caring for my baby, he’s fine, but I feel like I am neglecting myself. I feel so lonely all of a sudden like I just exist to be Mum and that’s it and I don’t understand why I’ve started getting these thoughts and feelings, I feel so guilty that I’m not enjoying it anymore 💔 I love him so much I’m just feeling really lost.

AITA

My youngest is 19 months and still breastfeeds. I am the one who usually puts him down for naps. Today he went down and woke up like 44 mins later I tried to get him back down and he woke back up again. My partner is upset that he didn't go back to sleep. Im not trying hard enough, I'm letting the baby have power etc stupid s****. It's pissing me off bcus why are you so mad? I understand we have things we eed to do in the house today but still.
