breastfed baby poo

My 10 day old is very nicely established into breastfeeding from the start, gaining weight nicely, back to birth weight by day 10 and feeding on demand at roughly every 2-3 hours, with solid milk drunk naps in between, no soreness etc for me.

However, he seems to be pooing into every single nappy!! That's about 8/9 poos a day! Its all runny yellow non smelly but is it normal to poo that much?!

Any advice most welcome!

Yep normal at 10 days, I think my son was 2 months or so before he started having nappies that were only wet.

The poo seems normal, and it's far better to have lots of dirty nappies a day than for them to save it all up for one massive poonami a day!
Sounds like you've done amazingly well so far.

I always heard the rule was a poo diaper per day of baby's age through the end of the second week of life.

Normal. My little one is the same - one in one out ;)

Yup, watch out for poonami up the back. A poo tsunami. It's a shocker. Someone once described it as Korma sauce. Gross but accurate.

BTW if you have a pooer, make sure you have at least two clean of everything he could possibly poo on - blankets, sleeping bag, sheets, cot mattress, moses basket mattress, your own trousers, etc! Grin
