I love it! My first pooped 8 times a day until basically forever? Still 3-4 times a day at 4. It made me stop cloth diapering way early because it was such a hassle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-babies-how-many-poops-per-day#post-2295104 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 14:53:33 +0000 rosegold 2295104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my lo is probably at about 3 times a day and they're turning greenish 😕 my sil's lo is about 2m old, ebf and goes once a week but the load is huuuuuge but a nice happy yellow </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-babies-how-many-poops-per-day#post-2295070 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 14:24:55 +0000 Mama Bird 2295070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nine weeks here, and DD has at least 2-3 real poops a day. And she sharts constantly (sorry TMI!) We go through so many diapers. I'm going to ask at her next appointment, but I think this is normal :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-babies-how-many-poops-per-day#post-2295062 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 14:20:05 +0000 buttermilk 2295062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter is almost 5 weeks and hasn't gone in 7 days lol!

But yes, I should start! I think I've also hesitated b/c I'm overwhelmed by how poorly we're sleeping...and not feeling quite ready to take on that extra load of laundry per day! :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-babies-how-many-poops-per-day#post-2294797 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 11:46:39 +0000 autumnlove 2294797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1-2! ETA- 6 weeks old. She was going 3-4 times a day for the first 2 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-babies-how-many-poops-per-day#post-2294794 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 11:40:32 +0000 Anya 2294794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 6 months, we use cloth diapers and she poops 3-4 times a day :shocked: Not every day, but fewer than that is pretty rare.</p> <p>Why not use cloth now? This is the best time because with the EBF poop you just toss it in the wash! No scraping/spraying required. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-babies-how-many-poops-per-day#post-2294788 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 11:34:01 +0000 FliegepilzHut 2294788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are still in the early poop-tastic weeks :silly: -- probably 6-8 dirty diapers ever day at 6weeks. I know the range of "normal" is HUGE...but I was hoping things would slack off a bit and then we could transition to cloth...</p> <p>How many dirties does your EBF LO have? How old? Should I just bite the bullet and start CD...or is it reasonable to expect that things will slack off after a while? </p>
