Poop question sorry WAY TMI

[karinothing]

So, now that DS is finally eating solids his poo has started to change. I guess I just need to know when I can tell if he is too constipated or not.

I just changed his diaper and the poo was polpable. It was yellow and solid but not hard (I could squish it, I guess kind of like playdough). He didn't seem to be in pain passing it, but I could for sure tell he was pooing.

So, is that constipated poop? Or just normal solids plopable poop? Either way WAY better than scraping/spraying off poopy diaper.

That is what DD's poop has been like since starting solids. Dr said as long as they can poop without a ton of strain and it isn't dry and that she goes at least every 4-5 days, she's good.

I wouldn't worry unless he's straining to get it out or isn't pooping often

[karinothing]

He was straining a bit, but he didn't seem bothered by it. I could just tell he was working at it. So is that okay?

[huey]

DD has a poop face that cracks me up. But she isn't in pain, just pushing out thicker poop. It hasn't worried me and DR said we are good

I think you are good

[ijack]

dude I LOVE poop face. it's hilarious to me!

[karinothing]

Okay good! Thanks

Man this poo is SOOO Much better for cloth diapering! Like a billion times better.

Wait until you give him too many blueberries. Hurl.

As long as he doesn't have rabbit pellets he isn't constipated.

I love plopable poo. It beats spraying diapers that's for sure.

I can't believe I just admitted to loving poop.

Solids = real people poop.

[whitepicketfence]

Yep, that sounds like pretty normal poo.

So long as it's plopable, we're ok with it. Sometimes it just rolls off the diaper - that's when they are getting just a liiiitttle constipated.

I love this thread.

J often grunts when he poos and he's definitely not constipated. It never ceases to be hilarious to me and H.

Ha it is kind of hilarious. This was the first time he has ever had to do that and he seemed so confused! He was in the middle of playing then just started grunting and put his head in his hands. Poor guy! Real poo is tough work.

Emily has pooped a few times when out to eat. she grips the high chair and starts grunting. Poor thing.

But yea, the poop is fine. I hate the smell, but solid poop is so much better than having to clean up blowouts up the back and up the front.
