The runs

[nicola0531]

I feel that whilst I am breast feeding my son he poos is this ok scared that my milk is giving him the runs I know it digests easily but it would be abnormal that whilst I am feeding him it runs out the bottom end

Ellie does this, I change her nappy before feeding her & alot of the time as soon as I lift her to my breast or during the feed she does a big poo in her nice clean nappy so I end up having to change it again!

Newborns poo's are quite runny anyway so dont worry about that as it sounds normal to me

Ruby does this all the time. I put her to the breast, and within minutes, she explodes lol. I asked about this, as I was worried, but was told it's completely normal

It's to do with feeding making the digestive system work, so when the oesophagus moves up and down with food, it encourages the bowels to start moving and working too. So it's just shaking up what's already in there waiting to come out..! We used to change Ryan in between sides, to keep him awake enough to feed, and to get out the poo he did on the first side.

My midwife suggested changing after a feed as the feed itself stimulates the bowels.
