WEEK #8
Poop, Poop & Poop Again...
It is common that
babies who are breast-fed frequently have bowel movements that tend to be seedy, mustard-yellow coloring
and are liquid and unformed. Bottle-fed
infants tend to have slightly more solid bowel movements with a brownish color
with a slightly more firm consistency.
Frequency vary widely as well. Some babies may poop a dozen times a day,
and others may pass stools just a few times a week. As long as your baby is
gaining weight and has no abdominal pain or bloating, their pooping frequency
is fine.It is very important to become familiar with what is
the typical frequency and consistency for your baby”s bowl habits. If the
frequency, volume, or consistency changes dramatically,
consult your baby's pediatrician right away.
