Baby poo

Ahhhhh who knew as a parent you'd spend so much time obsessing over poo Confused

So my little one is 13 weeks, always suffered with constipation, after weeks of screaming and suffering we discovered colief.. worked wonders and everyone was happy and we had 1 dirty nappy a day!

However, about a week and a half ago his poo became very watery and he was going 4/5 times a day.. I therefore cut down the colief drops, this didn't have any effect so I stopped them altogether. Watery nappies continued for a few days, then turned darker and slimy. I went doctors and he said it wasn't a concern.

Poos returned to a normal colour but remained watery, every nappy is dirty.. I've had 5 dirty watery nappies so far today. He's lost weight, I haven't weighed him so I'm not sure how much but I can see and feel he's lost it.

How many dirty nappies is normal?
Should I be pushing at the doctors or not?

If you think he's lost weight, I'd say that was a concern. Do you have a Baby Weigh or Health Clinic you can go to? Get him weighed & voice your concerns to a HV?
Otherwise take him back to the drs.
Watery dirty nappies aren't unusual, but losing weight is especially if he's feeding normally.
