poop question
« on: June 29, 2006, 02:47:52 am »
hi
i have  a poop question...what is normal poop consistency for a bf baby?  my ds hadn't gone poop for 4 days which (now I know) is normal, but then when he did go there was alot of couse and it was the consistency of peanut butter.  he went again today and it was the same consistency.  i thought i read somewhere that that means a food allergy to something i am eating, it that right?
thanks ladies...i love being able to discuss things like this here!! :)

It sounds like everything is ok.  I'm not sure I would jump to the conclusion of a food allergy.

my DD's poops are exactly the same, and many mothers I have spoken to about poops say the same thing.  DD used top poop at every diaper, but at two months didn't go for one solid week.  then look out! it was so big i was wiping it off her tummy! :o  now she usually has a big poop every three or four days.
