Thanks for your responses ladies.

Thanks Barb I we have turned the corner.

Yes bubs is getting and demanding 8 - 12 feeds per 24 hours. He is VERY assertive.

Gets weighed at the end of the week so we will check that.

He has very wet nappies but NO poos!!!

He only does number #2's once a week so far - so being 3 weeks old he has only had 2 dirty nappies since passing meconium. The last dirty nappies was the biggest one I have ever seen - IT WAS HUGE - it never thought so much could come out of something so tiny - it would have gone up his back and down his legs several times. So far I have been told not to worry about the infrequent dirty nappies. I know it is not the usual thing for newborns, but could he simply have more mature bowel habits right from birth?
