Very loose poo every 2-3 hours for a baby that age is a lot. that means he poos averagely 5 times a day between 8am and 6pm. I personally think that's too much. At your baby's age, mine was on about 180ml of milk and peaked at about 220ml when he was around 5 months old. At that age he was getting minimum 6 diaper changes - soiled or not.

since you are breastfeeding, what is your diet like? Are you taking too much fruits? Too much honey? Too much sugary food? Too much vegetables? I am a big fan of Ribena and anytime I took it during the first weeks of breastfeeding, my son always ended up pooing frequently than usual and his poo was very loose. Even when I hid to sip my Ribena, my mum always knew as the tell tale signs were there once she changed his diapers and she would scream 'mummy ribena' . I had to give up Ribena.

I think you should watch what you eat, change your diet and see if there are any changes. If the frequency of his poo is still the same, seek the opinion of a doctor.

if your baby is formula fed, then maybe you should try another brand as that might also be responsible for the frequent poo.

My breakfast/ lunch is usually yam/rice pepper soup, beans and ripe plantain, unripe plantain cooked in different styles and then dinner is soup....
Fruits are occasionally. ..No junks either .

Stop the pepper soup. The spices in it might be the culprit. Maybe you've been eating too much unripe plantain. Just change your meals and see if there's any improvement.

Good evening mamas.
Rezzy,may God heal your son soon.

mamas,pls choke mouth in this matter pls.

At 2months or so I noticed a lymph nodes(i call it lymph nodes cos that is what google called it) at the back of my ds ears. one was so moveable while the other was not,later on one dried up a little while the other,the not so moveable one is still there looking at me. it is quite visible,like two size sokoto bean.

I also noticed two lymph nodes at the tail end of his neck in sept. these ones are not visible cos flesh covered them.

will they still disappear mamas? my ds is totally fine.

Cappo let me help with my little experience cos I really suffered from milk production too.

When I came across a video on Ask the paediatricians page on facebook that was what changed everything. That fine guy needs to suck that breast for milk to be fully established. He needs to suck the areola not even the tip it will be difficult but for your sanity you av to teach him and guess what the more he sucks the more bm that will be produced. Please if you are on fb look for the group and watch

Also about the stooling please you need to rule out infection cos bottle might be the culprit.

I have dumped expressing for a while now and guess what I was trying to give DD bm from spoon and cup yesterday the babe rejected it totally she is so used to tit now.

My dear no watching weight for now o if you are determined to breastfeed your baby to your satisfaction you need correct food well I might be wrong. Was watching my weight after birth when my doctor told me that I cant serve two Gods at the same time. Just include excercise and you will be fine. You need enough food for milk to be established dont limit yourself to certain classes of food. Our paed also told me that beans changes the taste of bm he sha talk plenty grammar dt day so he limited me to once a week.

I read somewhere that locust beans also boost production well since I was desperate for milk and I had nothing to lose I ate one tablespoon in the morning and another one at night, i was looking for my breast pad the next morning something I never thought I could use.

I hope this will hlp you or someone else. Sorry for my long post

Mama's please my DD of 5mth+ is seriously refusing to take her milk and already loosing weight. Even dh is complaining that she's sliming down. I've tried everything possible, even introduced multivitamin (wellkid) and babies food. Google said is teething. She's not running temperature, no vomiting, just cranky and wants to play too. I'm really tired AF of begging, couldn't even sleep. What can I do, is it teething, is it a phase?? When will it stop?

Yeah, paediatric partners is good. That's where my sister takes my nephew and she likes the place.

I tell you that place is wonderful...it is owned by 2 top notch paediatricians I know very well.. You have a one on one relationship with the Drs...u will be given the paediatricians 24hrs line n can call them anytime...am serious about it- ANYTIME. They are not the types that will just say start bringing the child when there's no need- not overly money conscious.

Never hrd that it boost milk production sha! But if u must eat it raw, let it be the fresh ones and not dried ones. Also, becareful with the salt cos most sellers add too much salt, you can buy without it been salted.

Aveg na raw you eat am abi u use am cook, also one wait till delivery before using it or can one start using it few weeks like 2 weeks to delivery to make d tin very ready for action. Abeg no mind my plenty questions.

Hotmomma funny you. I dont know the implication of iru in pregnancy but pls hold on till you deliver cos you might just lactate immediately. Safe delivery sis.Yes i ate it raw *yuck* i used the normal iru. Please wash away the salt before eating.

Ps:It worked for me doesnt mean it will work for everybody

Cc:baby8

Iru doesn't have any implication on pregnancy, its just a normal natural seasoning we use to cook. Also, eating it raw has a great positive effect on eyesight. She can eat it anytime.

But be ready to brush after eating it.

My baby was also a frequent pooper during ebf. Pooing at least 4 times a day, runny poop but not watery. He'd eat, and poo immediately. I refused to get worried because he was adding weight nicely. Besides I have a very fast metabolism and I believe he inherited that.

My diet was okay, and he uses cup and spoon when not feeding from the breast.

Even when he started formula was same thing, just different consistency of poo. One day he stopped just like that and now poos max once daily. I believe he stopped last week (4 months 2 weeks).

I watched my weight after birth sha. No pounded yam, no pap, no junk, small portions of food. My milk production was still good. I only started eating anyhow when I resumed work.

The only thing that affects my milk is if lo is not sucking. So on Monday production is high, low on Friday. He sucks all through Saturday, Sunday milk is pouring everywhere, Monday we resume the cycle.

The love you mamas show on this thread is really amazing. Thanks a lot orirebaby and comtem2011 and amen to your prayers orirebaby.

Cc. Dunamit and Amhappy
Sorry for late reply dunamit.
It is likely your babies are teething and their gums are disturbing them. If they are not old enough to use a teether, they will use their hands... there is nothing really you can do as it is thier own way of relieving the pressure.

You can only try to clean their hands as often as you can. But it will most likely resolve itself.

However if you are worried, you can always go see your peadiatrician to rule out any other nasties that may cause the stooling.

The tiptoe image is so me
