Poo Help Needed 😱

We have this when I have dairy as he's got CMPA, he has vinegary smelling poops and they are almost jelly or slimy like in consistency! He poops maybe once every few days though

Totally normal. No idea why your midwife has said they should be going once a week 🤷🏼‍♀️ my EBF goes at least twice a day.

Completely normal my first went loads a day still at 3 goes at least twice a day! She was EBF, my second almost 6 months goes several times a day and often has blow outs in her car seat (almost every time for nursery runs) it’s the position helps them go I think. No idea what your midwife was on about. X

My first baby was fed exclusively breast milk in bottles and he pooed about once a week, my second is ebf from boob and he does at least one giant poo a day, they’re all just different. I am dairy and soya free for him at the mo as I’m not sure if he’s got allergies but we’ll see properly when we start weaning!

Up until about 3 Weeks ago, my EBF was pooing a minimum 5 times a day! Now it seems to be 1 to 3 poos a day but he has never gone a day without pooing since the day he was born! I find the days where he does one poo, it does tend to be a big one! After feeds or before you know you are going out in the car, maybe put him in a squat position for 5-10 minutes as that can encourage bowel movements!

I just saw the doctor about this as my LO who is EBF has never pooed less than 5/6 times since he was born and at least two are explosive! They smell but are the right colour, occasionally they are more runny. They got me to stop eating dairy for a few weeks but it made no difference.

They've said as he's not in any pain or discomfort and has plenty of wet nappies too, that it'll probably settle down when he's on solids (although I know they can smell worse then!!)

Also spoke to my HV about it and she said it was normal.
I'm getting a stool sample done just to be on the safe side, docs said they can only check for bacteria but just to eliminate any issues!
