Lol Divvy! Haha, thats funny! I remember having to carry the car seat in once and literally pour the poo down the toilet once with my DD1!
Think I will wait it out a few days. It wouldn't worry me so much if she was a bit older, and hadn't had the formula.
She did seem a bit uncomfortable before, but after some mega big farts, that are sooo smelly she was okay again.
Have been feeding lots today to see if that helps.
Farts are a good sign!!!! Div that is hilarious! I have to say I was prepared for a mega pooplosion after 12 days and nup - just a normal average baby sized poop and he followed it up with another 10 days of no poop, which was then also average! Just goes to show how efficient their bodies are at taking the nutrients from the breastmilk!
Wow, Divs, I thought my little girl did well to hang on for 15 days! Hers have never been hard to clean up though. They got closer together as she got older, and now it's a very regular every 3 days at about 6pm!
Good thinking to keep an eye on it with the FF though.
I have been reading up on it, and sometimes in young breastfed babies, it is a sign that they are not getting enough breastmilk...I am wondering if I have been taking her off the breast too early?? I am not used to such a slow feeder....hmmm...something for me to think about..
I also think my supply is still increasing as well, on the last feed before bed tonight, she got a second let down for the first time during the one feed, so maybe it hasn't been quite enough for her yet until now?
Guess I will just keep trying to feed lots, and leave her on the breast longer as well.
Don't have any different advice to add, Just a huge Congrats on over coming your difficult start to breastfreeding and yay for getting her back to Just you, great job that cant have been as easy.
Thanks so much Us Plus2, what a lovely post! , it's so nice to be able to relax now and just enjoy my beautiful bubba without all that extra pressure! For a little while there I thought it wasn't going to be possible to breastfeed at all, which was a shock since this is my third baby, and the other two were easy to BF...but we are finally there.....and it is SO worth it!
Big congrats on getting to exclusively BF
Pie used to go up to 10-12 days between poos. We did worry because we had ehard it was usual for older babies, not young babies (this was between 1 - 8 weeks I guess?). But as with Audax's bub, as she got older she got more regular. She did get uncomfortable in the day or two before a poo, and I used to do a little bit of tummy massage as well. Plenty of wet nappies is good, and as long as the poo isn't hard & dry & pellety, then it's probably normal.
