My DS2 is now 13 weeks and is exclusively breastfed. Mostly his nappies are the usual explosive bright yellow runny type however twice now he has had what I can only describe as thick poos (apologies to anyone who may be eating at the moment). The first time he had this he was only about three weeks old and then again last night. He was very unsettled when he woke for the night feed and ended up being up for over two hours. He started to fill his nappy in the middle of the feed (he only goes once a week or so). When I took the nappy off he was not quite finished and it was very thick, almost formed, almost like how I would imagine a bottlefed babies' poo being like but bright yellow.
I just wondered if anyone knew if this was normal, could he be a bit dehydrated, he certainly has plenty of wet nappies and seems fine. Weight wise he is doing well. As it has happened twice now and it seems to unsettle him it is making me wonder if this is normal.
Thanks to anyone who can help.
