Our routine for rashes is to wipe with water (after using a regular wipe) to clean off any residue from the wipe. Then we pat dry, and then apply the diaper cream to dry skin. This usually clears the rash up. Then since he keeps pooping alittle bit each time once the rash is clear we use an ointment like A&amp;D or even aquaphor as a protective barrier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-pooping-question#post-2851225 Sun, 14 Oct 2018 21:58:02 +0000 ALV91711 2851225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Goose: Wow! That is a lot of pooping. Never knew about olive oil, will have to keep that in mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-pooping-question#post-2851192 Sun, 14 Oct 2018 16:26:50 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2851192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my second he pooped 20 times a day. Not even an exaggeration. From week 2-3.5 of life. We went through tons of diapers and it was diarrhea style and would happen mid change. My midwife said it was fine and was because it was hot outside and my milk was adjusting and hydrating him? Don’t know that that made sense to me, but he was totally fine and happy and gaining a pound a week. It caused and awful diaper rash though and it took me a while to clear it up. I used a peri bottle to wash his bum at every change and then rubbed olive oil into his bum and put cream on top. Coconut oil and zinc creams did nothing for me, but once it healed I always used a baseline type barrier cream at every change just in case until he was at least 6 months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-pooping-question#post-2851191 Sun, 14 Oct 2018 16:17:10 +0000 ALV91711 2851191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LadyDi: I feel like we are going through so many diapers with this guy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-pooping-question#post-2851184 Sun, 14 Oct 2018 15:05:54 +0000 LadyDi 2851184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Normal. DS2 especially pooped SO MUCH when he was little. I second using the purple desitin until it clears up then use Vaseline or coconut oil with every change. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-pooping-question#post-2851172 Sun, 14 Oct 2018 13:48:21 +0000 ALV91711 2851172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@petitenoisette: @meadow: @pachamama: Thank you! I'm glad to know it's normal. I couldn't remember from DS1 who is 5.5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-pooping-question#post-2851168 Sun, 14 Oct 2018 13:37:23 +0000 pachamama 2851168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kid pooped a thousand times a day, then he went 9 days without pooping 🤣. I once heard for exclusively breastfed babies, every tyoe of poop and frequency is normal. As they grow their little GI system is changing so I'd say that's normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-pooping-question#post-2851156 Sun, 14 Oct 2018 11:11:55 +0000 meadow 2851156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At that age I think my BF babies had poop at every diaper change....haha</p> <p>Desitin (purple) became our friend! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-pooping-question#post-2851151 Sun, 14 Oct 2018 10:05:29 +0000 petitenoisette 2851151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yea, definitely normal. My now 7 month old did this and she actually had an open sore rash that consequently took forever to heal - we saw dr multiple times for the rash and they said the constant pooping almost leaking of poop def normal. But I’d keep on top of changes and using a diaper cream so the rash doesn’t get worse. It got better over time - maybe by 3 months or so it had stopped? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-pooping-question#post-2851144 Sun, 14 Oct 2018 08:54:43 +0000 ALV91711 2851144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS will be 7 weeks tomorrow and is breastfed. He usually has 1-2 good sized poops a day. My question is he als has a small amount of poop at every diaper change. It is normal looking but giving him a rash. My ped had said not to worry if he went a week without pooping. I will talk to our ped about this but we don't have an appointment until the 25th. </p> <p>I guess my question is is this amount of pooping normal? </p>
