Horrible runny poo!

Not sure if this is the right forum for this question but here it goes:

My DS is 3 months old and since about a month ago has started producing really runny poos which leak everywhere. Every day I dread his poo times, especially if we're out and about. He's mainly breastfed but also has 2 bottles of formula each day. On most days he has two poos a day. I'm using Pampers Baby Dry which I found to be very good before he started doing these horrible poos.

Does anyone else have the same problem? Is this a phase that will pass? I know it will probably improve once he's on solids but ideally I would like it to happen sooner than that as it's just so messy to clean up, especially when we're out.

Thanks.

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

At least it doesn't smell to bad, actually I quite like the smell of breastfed baby poo it reminds me of happy times!!

Sorry and to answer your qustion I think around this time mine started going less frequently and thus built it up and exploded, especially nice when we were camping and didn't have a bath!!!

Yorkiegirl I have heard from a few people that Huggies are better for runny poo so I've bought a pack today, after he did another horrible one while we were out! The waistband on the Huggies does seem to hug better so I'm hoping that would make a difference.

it's just newborn breastmilk poo. my dd used to go once every 10 days or so and when she went it was everywhere. I just made sure she was in the right size and put up with scraping it out of her vests

My children were breastfed and they did some real corkers. I found pampers the best, the baby dry ones or whatever there top range was. Not a lot you can do other than be prepared! It doesnt last forever. Just think of all the good that breast milk is doing.
