EBF baby: won't poo in nappy only naked!

Just that really.
3 week old EBF baby. She appears in good health.
but since last lunchtime won't poo in her nappy! She will wait HOURS and do it on the mat. As soon as the nappy is off, she will release her bowels onto the mat or bath or whatever. She waited since teatime and just did it now - of course lots of poo!
She farts just fine! Feeding well, peeing, healthy looking.
The stools look rather watery but I understand this is not the runs for an EBF baby as they are still ok smelling, yellow and seedy.
We recently tried a new brand of nappies which feel more snug - could that be it??

Well ... today/last night we managed 4 changes (including poo ... lots of it haha) without any unexpected tidal waves! Grin She did 3 enormous poos before, during the night and now.
Think her natural way is developing to be fewer bigger poos.

I even gave her a sponge down wash with neither tears nor wee everywhere!

Don't wanna tempt fate so putting spare clothes in the nappy bag and a muslin in the car seat though!

Four pooey nappies overnight. How tiring! I grumble when I have to change mine once because of a poo! (He does wake up about 17 times though).

Mine is tired after all that pooping and has been napping since 10am!

I am almost jealous of the poo marathon! DD hasn't pooed for over a week now, I'd love a pooey nappy! We're off to the GP tomorrow.

Definitely over thinking it-baby squitz sounds fine. Please try not to count every poo/smear(however tempting!)
