How many poopy diapers?

How many poopy diapers is your baby having? Lauren poops like 10-12 times a day. She nurses so often! Sometimes it's every hour of the day. Could it be because she is pooping so much? Also! When your LO poops, how much is in the diaper? Some of hers are just big skid marks and others are more.

  • About the same. It is totally normal for a BF baby to poop after every feeding.

    That sounds like my LO. I feel like I could even change her more often because she'll shart right after being changed a lot.
    Sometimes her diapers are very full (2-3 a day) and other times its just a small amount.
    My LO also nurses very often but I think it has more to do with my supply... But I could be wrong. I've been taking supplements and eating more with hopes of increasing my supply to hopefully get breastfeeding sessions to go a bit quicker but I haven't had luck with shortening the sessions yet. But I do think my supply has gone up a little bit because my pediatrician wanted to do a weight recheck and LO gained a lot of weight after I made those changes with eating/taking supplements.

    Edit: but to bit
  • Sounds about right to me! I did read somewhere (KellyMom, I think) that poops only "count" if they are at least quarter sized, so any skid marks or "sharts" I haven't been adding to the official Poop Count (although there is a place to make notes on my tracking app and I do note them).
