TMI ALERT! BF poo 15 weeks

3 replies

My 15 week old EBF DD has been a regular, large pooer. Usually at least every other day producing a nappy filler.

Over the last week or so she's started pooing every few days which I know is normal but they're also much smaller. Lots of farting too which really smells!
She's in a real distract able phase so I'm worried she's not getting enough but we're still having lots of very wet nappies.

Is this all normal? TIA

Yes, it's normal :)

15 week olds are certainly distractable, and this is absolutely developmentally spot on, as they become more interested in their environment - at the same time, they take the breastmilk they need in a shorter time, or start waking up to feed more, or whatever...somehow they do get what they need to grow physically as well as growing in the learning and understanding sense.

Thanks, I presumed it was normal. Am trying to offer the breast regularly as she sometimes seems too distracted to be hungry and am feeding when she wakes up to try and do a decent feed.

She's always been an efficient feeder but it's at a whole new level now!

kitten we've been going through exactly the same- LO is 16 weeks today. I have to hold her hand when feeding as she keeps flapping it around trying to grab everything. She's been very trumpy and feeding for 5 mins then fussing. You're not alone x
