Hello,

I would value any advice re following. In the past fortnight our six month old baby has turned from a one pooh a day(since 3/4 months)to a constant pooper.

The poohs are all still within the description for a breastfed baby although vary from usual yellow seedy poohs to quite green.

We have had a swab taken, which was normal, and dr thought it might be a virus as other babies in her post natal group had similar symptoms. My baby is really happy and sleeping well, but every feed is resulting in a pooh and passing wind also seems to result in poohs, in fact it is reminiscent of the newborn weeks.

She doesn't take formula and we put off weaning until this phase passed in case it was a tummy bug or virus but two weeks later nothing has changed.

I have come to realise that "normal" has a very wide spectrum when it comes to babies, and that this probably is not unusual. As a bug is now ruled out I am thinking I will start weaning and put the changes down to a phase or teething, especially as she is so happy and content. Am I being crazy and should I wait until the poohing eases off, or should I take her back to the doctor? Or do we accept this is the normal for now?

Is your baby shooting poo when you change her nappy as well? My first child became a constant pooper around 2 months and it took us a while to find out why. A ped at A & E suggested my baby was intolerant to the cow's milk I was drinking so I cut out the dairy in my diet and the problem stopped.


I thought maybe it was a co-incidance but my second baby started doing the same thing and responded immediately to cutting out the dairy. Both went onto taking soya formula milk but there is traces of milk protein in that as well so they had to have a special formula from the doctor instead.


It may not be your baby's problem but it's worth a try. Remember to take calcuim supplements for yourself whilst your feeding.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
