His we're never yellow or seedy. They were typically green and very thin and the smelled like a sweet acid. It was terrible. His problems were from not being able to digest milk and soy. If you think there is a problem you should persue it. If you just think its gross I second going up a size or the cloth diaper idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infants-and-blowoutsargh#post-359646 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 09:04:15 +0000 ShootingStar 359646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You could try a cloth/reusable diaper cover over the disposables. You'd probably only need a couple since he poops so infrequently. Thirsties are supposed to be really good at blowout containment - <a href="http://www.sewcraftybaby.com/store/WsDefault.asp?Cat=1.DiaperCoversPUL&#038;Sub=187&#038;isThumbs=No&#038;Thumbs=" rel="nofollow">http://www.sewcraftybaby.com/store/WsDefault.asp?Cat=1.DiaperCoversPUL&#038;Sub=187&#038;isThumbs=No&#038;Thumbs=</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infants-and-blowoutsargh#post-359423 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 07:15:55 +0000 pregnantbee 359423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg we're going through this now at 4 months! So glad we're not alone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infants-and-blowoutsargh#post-359411 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 07:00:41 +0000 Weagle 359411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lydg: LO's wasn't ever seedy or runny once her poop schedule changed either. It was the consistency of sour cream or thin peanut butter. And smelled like death. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infants-and-blowoutsargh#post-358740 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 14:54:33 +0000 pastemoo 358740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JustlikeHeaven: me too. Changed again at 4 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infants-and-blowoutsargh#post-357150 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 20:47:11 +0000 littlecasita1122 357150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO would only poop once or twice a week ever since he was about 4 weeks old...and every time it was a blowout or an almost blow-out (like if we didn't change him immediately it meant a huge mess). He's 4 months now and it's gotten a little better but I think it's pretty normal for EBF. One time my LO didn't go for 10 days and his doctor said that was still normal as long as he was peeing a lot, didn't seem overly fussy and didn't have a fever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infants-and-blowoutsargh#post-356790 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 16:42:57 +0000 matador84 356790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@csassy he is almost 8 weeks. He hasn't been pooping everyday since about 2 or 3 weeks. I wouldn't be concerned normally but it isn't seedy and super runny/messy and not normal bf poop.<br /> @oceanis723 he is still a little guy-too small for size 2 diapers but a good thought! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infants-and-blowoutsargh#post-356787 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 16:32:07 +0000 DpeachLu 356787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>from the age of about 1 month to 3 months LO would only poop about every 4 days.. and it sounds like what you are describing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infants-and-blowoutsargh#post-356738 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 15:54:30 +0000 Mrs. Train 356738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep seems normal. So gross but normal. You can try to go up a diaper size if it would fit their waist. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infants-and-blowoutsargh#post-356728 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 15:47:37 +0000 Weagle 356728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How old is your LO? DD stopped pooping every day as she approached 3 months. By the time we got to 3 months she was going only once a week. The pediatrician said it was fine as long as it was regular and the poop wasn't strange (bloody, white, etc). And she would have a blowout every time she pooped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infants-and-blowoutsargh#post-356530 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 14:23:14 +0000 matador84 356530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ARGH! So...LO only poops every 48-72 hours and when he does it is such a blowout. Newborn poop is so weird, and it looks like it's diarrhea to me. It's not seedy like it is occasionally with him being BF and incredibly runny--a change of clothes, occasional bath, and 2-3 diapers! I'm starting to get worried about dehydration. Has anyone else experienced this with their newborn/infant and should I be worried? His pediatrician said it isn't constipation until they haven't had a BM for 5 days! (OMG). </p>
