LO is 14 weeks old. He is breastfed, with a few formula supplements as of recently. Even prior to starting him on formula supplements, he poops like 5 times a day. They're usually very mushy/gooey, and maybe 2 of them are "blowouts" filling a diaper. Is this normal? I know as they get older they're supposed to poop less... and then I read stuff about baby diarrhea, but how would I know if he's having that when all of his poops are mushy? Am I dumb for being confused about all of this? Any answers are appreciated

Ha to pooping less! LO is 11.5mos and still poops 3-4x a day! And they are not little either! I think it's normal--he just has healthy bowels!
And I thought the same about diarrhea, but you will know--it will be watery, not just mushy.
-
@hilsy85: Oh good! I've been reading that breastfed babies can go days without pooping. Not my baby! Glad I'm not the only one
-
Totally normal!!!
And the same as @hilsy85: diarrhea will be a lot more watery! You'll be able to tell the difference!

DS is 10 months and either has one or two BIIIIIIIIG poops, or still boops 3-4x a day like @hilsy85:'s ds
A was a frequent pooper like C! I wouldn't worry aside from texture/color changes, this is the chart I refered to a lot:
-
@Pepper: Xander went through a short period where he only pooped once or twice a week, but then he went back up to multiple times a day! These babies are unpredictable!!
-
@mrsjyw: OMG, thanks for posting that!!! Xander's in the intro-to-solids poop phase! That chart is so accurate!!
-
@Pepper: yeah, my baby has pooped every day of her life (except two days ago!) and she's 8.5 months old. poop kinda slowed down, but she's a regular pooper for sure!
-
@Adira: Thanks! I'm looking forward to even just once or twice a day! We go through a lot of diapers, haha.
@mrsjyw: Thanks for the link!!
-
R is 6.5 months and most days still pops at least twice. Once a day is rare for her.
-
@mrsjyw: I came into this thread hoping it would stop me from eating the junk food I have in my hands. Done and done. Thanks!
