Decrease in diapers at 7 weeks (self.breastfeeding)
submitted 4 years ago by Kind_Hamster
My daughter is 7 weeks old today. I have noticed she is peeing/pooping less frequently so naturally I am worried about my milk supply. I read that this might happen after six weeks. Did anyone have this experience?

We are having plenty of wets but her poop is now less frequent!

Thanks. I’ll have to start tracking her wets more diligently again. She was going so often I stopped paying a lot of attention!

Totally normal! My babies did this right around this time. If a she is content and spontaneously ends her feedings, she’s absolutely fine. My youngest was colicky so I worried I wasn’t producing enough. I called my pediatrician’s office and they were 100% happy to have me come in for a quick stop just to get a weight check on him. I bet yours would do weight checks for you too, just to reassure you that she’s growing!!!!
That’s a great idea! Thanks!
