    Boston is formula feed and nearly 8 weeks old but he too has runny poo and explodes when he goes. He usually goes once a day but was going twice a day up until a few weeks ago - i know it is different for FF and BF babies in regards to how many times they poo. His poo is runny but not diarrohea IYKWIM. It's kind of like toothpaste and a really horrible greeny colour - it changes from green to pumpkin colour - lovely. I think it is runny poo but when he poos by chance when I'm changing him it actually comes out like toothpaste not diarohea which I don't remember at this age with Mackenzie but when I checked with the other mums in Mothers group who have 2nd kids they all said it was normal. We are off to the pead in a few weeks so I will mention it to him if its still the same. In regards to the burping ages after a feed, yep we get that too sometimes - Boston has slight reflux/colic so I put it down to that - It is something they will grow out of but there isn't much you can do about it.

    Sounds perfectly normal Veronica, but always check things out if you are worried
