ds is 15 wks and last wk I started one formula feed before bed so dh and I could take it in turns to do bedtime with our toddler, I've only had one poo so far - when he was ex bf we would go about 10-14 days without poo but I expected it to increase now his having formula... should he be going more reg? hard to tell if it bothers him he had 2nd imms last week and is off colour generally
he is farting ok tho

Hi Insy! Due in Dec post-natal club were worried about you!

Re poo - I'm guessing if it's only 1 bottle it wouldn't make too much of a drastic change to his normal pattern?

formula is, if anything, likely to constipate him rather than increase the pooing

but as caz says, one bottle a day may not actually affect poo much

hi caz - the post natal thread ran away from me, dh been away for week and managing 2 was a challenge, will go over and post tho, have been neglecting mn!

thanks mrsb - I kind of though it would increase because he couldn't absorb everything, if that makes sense.... think I'll stop worring and enjoy the nappy changes at mo!
