Dirty Nappies

How many in a day is normal?

My 5 week old usually does one a day, in the evening. (Regular as clockwork for the last 5 weeks).

Today he has done 3 in a 2 hour period and seems to be a little whingey. Is this normal?

I don't know in general, but that was normal for us. I think the Hv asks about colour and consistency, but that number is pretty regular I think

He might have a little bit of a bug. You could ring surgery for advice/reassurance?

Normal for us! We'll have one a day for a few days, then nothing for a few days, then about five in one day very close together! I think their little tummies are just changing all the time. He might be more uncomfortable as often they have to strain to poo, even though it's so soft.

Normal.

Turned into 12 by this morning, visited the gp, he has a bug!

I would keep an eye on it & normal but ring doctor if you are worried.

Does the poop look normal colour and consistency? You can check it here: www.babycentre.co.uk/baby-poo-photos#/0
