Newborn and pp questions

[Deleted]

Because apparently I forgot everything from last time.

1. Is it normal for ds to have very loud explosive poops? He poops every diaper and you can hear him. He poops while eating a lot. It is mustardy yellow and wet. Is it diarrhea? He also pees a lot so I'm not worried about dehydration. Normal or is there something I should be doing?

2. How long did you bleed pp? I don't remember it lasting 2 weeks last time. It will get light and then medium and repeat.

1. The poop business all sounds very normal to me. (Disclaimer, I have one baby and he is 8 months old, so ... lol!) But for real, it does sound totally normal especially the color/texture/seedyness thing.

2. I bled for a little over a month. Godspeed.

1. Yes, I could hear her pooping and if I was nursing her at the time, I could feel her body convulsing as she pooped lol. Mustard colour and seedy is what you want. Dd pooped for every diaper until she was like 4 months. I had never seen a regular wet diaper until then. She was averaging about 10-13 poops a day. Omg

2. I think I bled for almost 6 weeks

[bananapancakes]

Ditto pp. Normal and somewhere around 6 weeks.

The poop sounds normal to me, we are still going through that at 4 months. Stopped bleeding around 2-3 weeks.

1. YES. I am shocked sometimes at the noise that comes out of little baby butts. whether it's my baby or the ones I care for at work. the description of the poop sounds like normal breastmilk poop to me. and colostrum actually has a laxative effect, so it's normal for him to poop during/after every feeding. the colostrum leaves your milk about 6 weeks iirc.

2. I stopped bleeding-bleeding about 2-3 weeks, and spotted off and on until like 14 weeks (had IUD placed at 7 weeks pp).

you can come up with craziest poop story and the answer will be "yep, totally normal"

even at 6 weeks, I had some bleeding, it had stopped and then restarted. All normal

1.) Yes that all sounds normal.

2.) I bled for 6 weeks with both kids, both were c/s. A month of super ultra pads, a week of regular pads, a week of pantyliners.

1) yep. Every time she nursed. Doesn't sound like diarrhea to me.

2) I bled for a month.

[sparkythelawyer]

Sounds spot in to me!

[humpforfree]

1. Yeah the poops. Lol. I forgot how loud they all are! Consistency sounds fine.
2. I was closer to 5 weeks this time. It was awful. With my CS I only bled for maybe a week.

[starburst]

The poop sounds normal. I definitely bled for more than 2 weeks. Probably closer to 4-6 weeks.

[dcn]

Yes to the poop, that is normal.

I bled on and off for almost six weeks this time. About the same for ds1 too I think.

I needed pads for 1.5 weeks and liners for another 1.5 weeks

[turtlegirl]

Sounds totally normal to me. Hell, my almost 5 month old still poops during/after 75% of feedings and it ranges a lot in colors. All 3 of my kids have been explosive newborn poopers, lol.

I bled for about 3 weeks pretty decently and then spotting on/off for another few weeks.

[Susie]

1) agreed, the poop stuff sounds totally normal and a lot like Hobbes
2) I bled for around 3-4 weeks, then gradually transitioned to pink, clear, no discharge by week 5/6

[momin2013]

1) normal

2) 2 weeks heavy, then 2 weeks medium, then 2 weeks light

[boiler717]

1. Normal
2. I bled for 10 days but I'm either bleeding again or starting TOM at 4w PP

[G22]

1. I vote normal. My baby is known for his loud explosive poops. He did it during prayer this week at bible study. A lady came up to us and said she thought it was hilarious, because H and I were trying not to lose it laughing during prayer after that. Consistency sounds fine too.

2. I bled for about 4.5 weeks.

[MamaMaui24]

1. Normal
2. Normal

You're doing great! How was his lip/tongue (?) tie procedure?

[redpenmama]

Normal sounds!

I bled on and off for 4 weeks with DD and almost 6 weeks with DS.
