Mine poos LOTS, sometimes 5-6 times a day!
Its driving me crazy! He used to be a regular boy, 7am on the dot, with no other suprises throughout the day. I wonder if perhaps I am giving him too much fruit? Would that be the cause? ------------- Mummy to two beauties... Formerly Kaiz. |

LOL - I was going to post the same topic a week or so ago!!
Sophie was the same as Jackson - got her up in the morning, about 6.45am changed her nappy, had bottle, had poo (all by 7/7.15) regular as clockwork. Then she added in a poo after her big sleep at lunch time, so get up at 3, had bottle, had poo. THEN it was poo at 3, 4ish and 5ish  . Some days it felt like all I did was change her nappy all afternoon!
I decided that it was because she ate so much fruit, so she is on rice cereal for breakfast and a banana a day (she only started eating banana a 2 weeks ago!). We are back to 2 poos a day thank goodness. -------------

The amount Maddi poo's a day varies all the time, some days it can be only once (a ver good day -------------

) Other days we can get up to 5/6. I have no idea what makes it change as she pretty much eats the same thing every day.Posted By: busyissy

| Dom was like that, he could do up to 7 poos a day and Isobelle only does one or two a day. Apparently 7 a day or 1 every 7 days is normal. |

| We get 1 a day (or most days) she is bottle fed so that may have something to do with only getting 1. Just starting solids so maybe we will get more poos!!! |

Ok, this is probably totally TMI, but when do babies poo's become more solid? Maddi are usually pretty solid and have been that way for quite a while now. I imagine if the problem was anything to do with too much fruit, the nappies would still be quite runny? -------------

The gremlins are like that too, they go 3-4 times a day now which is less than they used to when they were younger. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Caden used to just do a morning poo at about 7 or 8am, and now he sometimes does 3 a day , and its SO annoying using cloth nappies when he does that lol. This morning I put a new one on him and was just about to go out when I could smell another poo! It had only been 5 mins since I put the damn thing on him Luckily it was all in the liner so just took it out and put a new one in as the nappy was dry as bone.

Yeah, I get so frustrated, he usually poos just after Ive changed a nappy!
Ive stopped giving him fruit with his breakfast, and now hes just having one banana plus some apple for afternoon tea. Have only had two poos today. Daizy Im really not sure, Jacksons is never "runny", but sometimes they do smell a bit fresh, similar to that of a sore tummy. I also wonder whether its a teething related thing too? ------------- Mummy to two beauties... Formerly Kaiz. |

Sophie has been doing that too kaiz - change a wet nappy and she does a poo within about 10 minutes. Very annoying as she is a demon to change  . Does not lie still for anything -------------

Jessica poos without fail nearly every meal time! and at the risk of TMI, hers have never really got to the solid solid stage. Softly firm, but everytime she heads to teething or off colour for any reason they are runny again (her poor bottom!) Have all these cloth nappies that I ahd with the other 2, but haven't put Jessica into them for this reason. The longest she has been firmish has been about a fortnight. She got quite sick in November last year and since then has never really come right (although apparantly nothing wrong!) Was never spilly until then. & the runs have been a common occurance since then. Sooooo frustrating! -------------

topic!
I am totally sick of changing pooey nappies - usually 5+ a day. He often wakes himself up with his pooing  . They tend to be reasonably soft cos he eats bucketloads of fruit (it's his favourite) though after eating some chocolate cake today, they were very chocolatey looking ------------- Mum to two wee boys |

Caden did some weird looking one today! He only did 2 today thank god! But this one looked random lol, I think he was picking fluff from the carpet and eating it
I hate pooy nappies SO much! ------------- |
