How do I stop the 2am poo?

Help needed. For the past 3 weeks my 5 month old has done a huge poo at 2 am. By the time he is changed and settled, I have been awake for an hour and am slowly losing my grip on reality (I am up at 6am to deal with 3yr old and 4 yr old...). He is on 2 bowls of mush a day - one at lunch time and one at 6pm...

Cork?

Dunno how you change poo routines, im lucky DS has never pooed late evening or nightime. Someone will be along soon to help no doubt

maybe give 3 bowls of mush but in the same quantities as you are giving 2 now? i don't really know as never had this problem.

Thanks - I will try moving the feeding times and see if that works.

This happened to my ds. It only lasted about 10 days or so.

You could try moving the times of his feeds or giving him some prunes at lunch time to try and blast it through earlier.
