A lucky mom is one who only has to change poopie diapers once a week or every couple of days. Right? Well I know I’m a lucky mom I talked to my nurse about this several weeks ago but, I’m starting to miss the weekly stinky catastrophes. Am I really missing the whole sprinkle baby powder down the back side and taking a whiff of everything I ate the night before!? Not really, but for some reason my boy’s uneventful diaper changing sessions are really starting to get to me. My nurse said it’s nothing serious unless he is showing signs of discomfort. Which there are no signs! Thank God. But when it comes he is in distress trying to squeeze it out with all his might, then it’s like Hiroshima dropped a bomb in my house. Then the gas….ohhhweee!!! The gas smells like he did poop but when I lift up the sides of his diaper to check there’s nothing in sight. Mind you he is exclusively breastfed. I googled “baby poops once a week” and the advice that was offered seemed normal for breastfed babies to not pope daily. I just want people that are in the same boat to tell me about their experience. Some people tell me to give my son juice, but I’m not feeling that advice. Only because he is a fatty and I’m listening to my pediatrician when it comes to introducing food/juices to my boy. Mainly because my daughter has severe food allergies (dairy, and peanut). However I did get a little hard-headed and have been giving my boy rice cereal since he was about 2 ½ months old.
Any suggestions?
