    Newborn poo.....

    Sorry for the gross question, but I honestly don't remember from DD1.

    DD2 is fully breastfed.

    Is a newborns poo (in my case, 6 weeks) supposed to be runny? It's always very watery and spread all around her nappy. Everytime I change her (each feed) there is something there.

    She's happy and having tons if wet (and pooey) nappies, which is why I haven't been worried, but I suddenly started wondering if its 'normal'.

    Very runny is totally normal (in my experience) not sure about watery though? My ds always had poos with almost every nappy change for a long time too.

    Probably runny is a better way to describe it anyway. Glad it's most likely normal

    yes, that's totally normal. Sounds like she's doing well.
