Hi,
Just checking this is nothing to worry about. Baby used to go twice a week maximum, and never at night. Loved it 😂
Now he is going very frequently and has been for a few weeks. Is this likely to be a permanent change? More importantly is it anything to worry about? Poos themselves don't seem to have change except sometimes there is a smaller amount.
It's meant a lot more of those full outfit changes and poo-namis, and the main inconvenience is that he is now often pooing at night, making already very bad sleep, worse!

4.5month old breastfed baby gone from pooing once or twice a week to 2/3/4 times a day?

Interesting. This happened at around the same stage with both my babies. Their poos also went a bit green for a while. I hated the night time poos, they made everyone miserable! With the first I assumed it was a lingering reaction to a mild tummy bug (GP agreed), but when it happened with my second as well I wondered if actually it’s part of a set of changes to the digestive and immune systems. At any rate, it lasted a few weeks with each baby but normal service did eventually resume.
