Question re 5mo breastfed baby poop. Formed poop. Is normal?
My baby had 3.5 weeks of really watery poops. It was mustard colour. At the start of the week, it has actually improved into a clumpy paste texture however it was greenish. I’ve cut out lots of dairy as I felt it was related.
The past couple of days, the volume / quantity and frequency of his poop has decreased. It is just a tiny bit of clumpy paste and the colour a dark mustard. Today, one nappy even had few small soft formed pieces that actually looked brown. Then later on, he had two larger (1-1cm) soft formed nuggets that were pale yellow. Husband changed this nappy and thought they were grey poops which is why I then changed. I was not expecting formed poops. Is this normal?
Things to note - we breastfeed on demand. He had a nice, long feed a couple of hours prior. He has always just fed on one breast at a time, never really wanting to continue to the other side, and he has really quick feeds (five minutes tops). Today he fed about 8 times in a 24 hours period. He is otherwise happy, alert, not crying or showing signs of discomfort (other than mild silent reflux). He is 7.7kg, so a good weight. He has had the sniffles for almost a week, as have I (so I have not been drinking much water).
Any advice? I feel that maybe he is dehydrated a little bit? Perhaps this is reflecting my milk supply going down?
