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.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
