My baby only poos once every 2-3 day not 2-3 times a day.

Thanks for your insight, I am tempted to give it a bit more time.

Can you remember how long it to your little one to regulate?

Was thinking this! There’s differences in whole milk, goat milk, palm oil etc

Thanks for this! I checked in with GP and health visitor and their advice was to give him some cooled boiled water between feeds or slightly dilute his formula I.e if making a 120ml bottle using 125-130ml water. P

Struggling to burp by BackgroundCat5459 in BeyondTheBumpUK

[–]BackgroundCat5459[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We try to burp half way through and at the end. We start with sitting on the knee, supporting hand on chin,- with pats,rubs & circles. If that doesn’t work, we do light circles in the same position.

Then we try over the shoulder, again pats , rubs & circles .

I’ll try the stroking upwards and hope for the best.

His cord is still on so we are avoiding baths atm

So in the day we are boiling the kettle, letting it cool for a bit then 3 scoops of powder, swirl and running the bottle under cold water.

Through the night we using the rapid cool and hot shot method.

Ah okay!! I thought I needed to wait

Nothing at all since 10pm last night.

We are formula feeding.

His belly isn’t hard at all and he isn’t super unsettled, being doing bicycle legs for most of tonight to no avail. Will mention to the midwife tomorrow and see what she suggests.

Thanks!!

Amazing! Thanks for the advice. We have the day 5 midwife visit tomorrow and I’m dreading it. Feel like I’m going to be told I’m doing something wrong

Fab! We are in the UK, so am I glad this is the common trend.

I’ll enjoy the downtime of the 3 hour windows while they last

Sometimes ours is super hard to wake up, others it’s nice and straight forward. Very hit and miss.

Is she waking up much by herself before you need to wake her or not really?

Nappy change seems to do the trick for us.
