From birth and up until 2 weeks ago my DS was having a dirty nappy about 6-8 times a day and they were of normal colour and consistency.
However, things changed (when he reached 6 weeks old) and his dirty nappies started really reducing to only have one a day to eventually only going once every 2-3 days.
He is now 8 weeks old and really, really strains and grunts when trying to open his bowels and this behaviour can last days until he finally manages to go.
The last two dirty nappies he had were on Friday and were both very loose and greeny to dark brown in colour - their consistency was like that of melted chocolate. I saw a GP about this who said it was nothing to worry about.
He passes a lot of wind but there is never any poo.
I just hate seeing him in such discomfort.
Does anyone else have a similar thing going on?
