I need to know if I should make my daughters appointment sooner than the 29th.
So a few days ago she had a fever of 100. We had assumed it was from teething because she didn't really show any other symptoms of being sick or anything. So we got the fever down and she was fine after that. Besides being fussy, chewing on everything and spitting up more than usual.
Well then the next day she started pooping a whole lot more than usual. Usually she goes once a day or once every other day. She's been having problems going since she was born too, like she would scream when she pooped but it never came out hard or anything. So when she started going a whole lot more than usual I got concerned. She is still doing it too. It isn't diarrhea, though. Like it's normal poop for a formula fed baby.
I'm wondering if maybe her tummy is finally digesting the formula the way it's supposed to? Cause now she doesn't scream when she poops and it's back to the normal seedy looking baby poop.
@scarapella1, that makes me feel better! I just needed to know that it's normal for her to poop as much as she's been!
If you are concerned, you can always give your doctor a call. Babies poop a lot. When my son was a baby he would get very constipated and would scream when he would poop. After some info from the doctor we had to give him a suppository. From what you are saying it sounds like she was backed up and is now going regularly. My kids would poop a lot. It's normal for babies to go a lot especially after eating.
What's a good formula for baby's that are constipated? My daughter is on soy and she screams every time she poops 😭 I'm currently substituting formula when breastmilk isn't enough
I need help! I don't see my daughter's doctor for a week and a half and I'm concerned with something. Usually she poops twice a day, but for the past 2 weeks it's been once a day. She's strictly formula fed. She grunts so hard and her face gets red when she tries to poop, it's like she's struggling to get it out. Today her poop was.. weird. It was like a ball. I'll post a picture in the comments.

As a mother you know when your child is poorly, and it's more than just god damn viral infection. But no f*** ing doctor would listen.
Should my month old poop more than once a day if that?
Ok mommy’s I’m confused , if I’m not mistaken when I took my newborn to his 2-3 day check up when we got out the hospital , the doctor said once or twice a day or every other day pooping is normal , he’s on formula exclusively so I’m wondering for the mommy’s that formula feed , how many times does or did your newborn poop a day? Or ? Cause he’s been pooping once every other day and I don’t want him to go to long with out pooping! 😔😟
Oh good!!! It's totally normal for babes to poop a lot. If she was having diarrhea a lot I would be concerned but just regular poop, you are good. 😀
