5 month BF baby pooing three times a day?!

[Igglybuff]

Hi

My DS has been pooing 3 times a day for about a week now after being a once a day man. They generally look like normal BF poos but occasionally they have bits of green in them. Sometimes they seem to be very watery with few "seedy" bits in them.

I'm a bit worried as not sure what it means. DS has had a nasty cough/cold and is getting over it now. He seems to be teething but checked his gums and I can't see any sign of teeth. He feeds every 2- 3 hours in the day and night. He's not been weaned - just the odd bit of carrot/fruit but nothing recently. His wee is fine - not smelly or dark.

Any ideas what could be up? What's the definition of diarrohea in BF babies?

Thanks!

My dd went through a stage of doing green poos, i asked the hv and dr and they both said it'd just sort itself out and they were right, it did, but it did take a week or so.
The general rule of thumb seems to be if the wee is fine, they seem well in themselves and not vomiting, then don't worry too much.

when i was a baby apparently i pooed at every single feed!

Haha every feed!!

Ok well today we've not had a poo yet whereas he would have done 2 so perhaps things are back to normal...
