Question about BF babies and pooping....

DS is almost EBF...gets a bottle of formula once a day, but not every day.

He poops several times a day...

the issue is that it's a major project for him still....he flails, kicks, cries, screams....and this can go on for a few minutes or longer until he actually poops.

And then when he does...it's like pulling a plug out of something.....SO loud.

And then he is SO relieved.

Several times yesterday he'd wake up, fart or poop, then go back to sleep without eating.

can someone shed some light?

Re: Question about BF babies and pooping....

Are you eating alot of constipating, gassy foods? Cheese dairy stuff like that maybe he is constipsted from that? I had to give DD little enemas because she couldnt go..
