Jason and I were joking on Friday that we were having Poop Watch 2012. See, Cal hadn't pooped since Wednesday. He is normally a regular pooper but there was none to be found on Thursday, Friday or Saturday. This is not unusual in breastfed babies. I was not going to be concerned until he hit day 7 with no poop.
Every time I would hear Cal fart, I would check his diaper thinking he had pooped. Nope. Not until Sunday. So that is 3 days without poop.
And when he did poop? It was horrid. I heard the telltale signs of gas and poo so I went to change his diaper. He had literally FILLED his diaper with poop. It was gross. And as I was cleaning off his bum, he proceeded to poop again. It honest to God looked like soft serve ice cream coming out of his bum (sorry folks). I used about 5 washcloths (we cloth wipe) to clean the poo off.
I finally get him diapered up and no sooner does he poop again. Back to the changing table. Another full diaper.
I think I lost count at 6 huge poop diapers yesterday. Blech.
Although I am glad he is back to normal.
I had washed all our diapers Saturday night and I had to do another load on Sunday because I did so many diaper changes. I guess it's good that I ordered 6 more diapers huh?
How are you liking the cloth diapers? Do you have all Flip or a mixed collection?
ReplyDeleteRowan did this once when she was super tiny. Scott was changing her, though. ;)
ReplyDeleteErin, we have a combination of Flip, Charlie's, Sunbaby and I just ordered six Kawaiis.
