Baby poo query... Sorry!

Hi, sorry if this is a ridiculous thing to worry about, but I have a nagging worry so thought I'd post for advice!

Background - My ds is 16 weeks (12 weeks corrected, if that matters) We were mix feeding, with mostly breastfeeds and a bottle or 2 between 8pm and 1am as needed. However, the last few weeks he's been sleeping better at night and basically sleeps through the 'bottle window' so is now ebf. We were also giving infacol for wind but stopped a couple of weeks ago as he didn't seem to be having those issues as much anymore.

On to the query.... From about 8 or 10 weeks (I think) he was only pooping every 2-4 days. Hv said this was fine as they were always soft. But, the last week or so (since the lockdown now I think about it!) he's pooing 3-6 times a day!! Still soft, sometimes runny, but no blood or mucus or anything.

He is feeding well and seems happy most of the time, but it just seems odd. Maybe if circumstances were normal and I was out more, seeing others etc I wouldn't be as worried, maybe I'm just over thinking?? Is this something to be concerned about? I tried to call a hv today but couldn't get through.

Thanks! Xx

My LOs poop changed a couple of times in consistency and frequency over the first 6 months. One week she didn't poop once! I wouldn't worry as he's eating and there isn't blood etc. Just keep an eye on it.
