well this one is about POOP!

Lol the title says it all.
As usual i have a question for you ladies..
Ive been giving my boys breastmilk and just started them on enfamil gentlease. Been about 2 weeks now. Theu went from pooping every diaper ( strait breast milk ) to 3-4 a day ( a week ago ) to 1 maybe 2 a day... not a clue if this is normal or not. Its been 10 years. Tmi- color is green/brown amd very thick. Nkt solid but thick.. im now only breastfeeding at night and formula during the day. Formula they are getting 4 oz every 3 hours.

Yep, sounds normal, Bailey is down to pooping once every 3-4 days now, and he's EBF. I was starting to think he was constipated, but no, apparently thats normal too.

They're normal. Formula fed babies usually only go 1-3 times a day and it can be any color except white or black, those colors mean cause for concern. Also as babies get a little older they usually poop a little less.  Even being EBF Genevieve is only pooping once or twice a day now.
