ok I know this is kinda gross but I need to know if its ok or I should be concerned Carrie only has one bowel movement a day but when she does its alot it fills her diaper and I change her after every feeding so I know its not cause its been in to long

Is she bottle or breastfeed?

Nickschic · 12-01-2005, 03:06 PM

bottle

Mandi · 12-01-2005, 03:12 PM

Lance is bottlefeed also and was doing the exact same thing. I was worried about it too. I thought that he was possible constipated! But when I went the doctors he said the bottlefeed babies don't have bowel movements everyday, they can actually go a couple of days in between. But if she is having belly aches or her belly seems tender, I would maybe take her to the doctors.

Thats normal. For formula fed babies, a bowel every 1-2 days is normal. If it's so hard that it's tearing her and causing blood to show up in her diaper, then you can give a little juice to help soften it a little bit. Otherwise, I wouldn't be too worried

your baby is fine bottle fed babies have alittle harder time digesting then breast fed so when they do poopy its alot and usually once or twice a day! no need to worry hth

As long as she doesn't go more than a couple days without a BM she's fine

My boys all like to poop several times a day! I wish they'd only go once a day or skip a day! lol

My ped said a couple days is normal. As long as it isn't mucusy it is fine!! Wait til you introduce cereals and such! Phew does their poo change!!!
