Baby poo question - TMI

J's poops have been pretty liquidy lately. We recently switched to Huggies little snugglers diapers size 1, since the pampers newborns weren't fitting anymore and their size 1 is way too big. A lot of his poop seems to be absorbed by the diaper but there is still runny mess on top. He is exclusively formula fed now and generally poops 1-2x per day. I guess what I'm asking is whether or not this consistency is normal. I know his poop won't be solid since he's not eating anything but formula and he doesn't seem upset or anything. It's just runny! Ew. Lol

Re: Baby poo question - TMI

  • I say normal but if you're really worried, call your Pedi.

  • I just called the dr since J has had 3 runny poops since 4:30am. The latest had a couple of flecks of blood. Poor guy!

    Aww, poor little guy. I hope he's okay.

    I wanted to say that we just switched to those same diapers (nb size, though) from the pampers swaddlers, and I do think they make the poop seem messier.

  • C's poops were a little runny when on regular formula, not so with the soy. How long ago did you make the switch to just formula?  This could still be his body adjusting.  The digestive tract is the part of a baby's body that is still changing and maturing, which is also why they can be so sensitive.

    One thing on the diapers, Pampers Baby Dry is a smaller fit than the NB swaddlers. WE used Huggies because they are a bit roomier (C had the chunkiest thighs lol).  So, if your little one is more petite, perhaps go the baby dry route.

    Any other symptoms of anything like a cold?  Mucus can make the poop runny too. Otherwise, i would not worry about it too much. Even more saliva (if they are being extra drooly) can change poop consistency.

  • Well, he had his circ on Thursday, he's more drooly and he also had a different formula (same brand but different preparation). It could be that different formula. He has had a sporadic cough but no temp. Super fussy yesterday and a little fussy today. He is very snuggly and whimpering. Lol he's taking the normal amount of his regular formula no problem.
