Poo question coming up!
Eva started solid food on the 5th with the four day rule in place. I didn't track her poo in the first week but it was still quite liquidy like BM poo.
When we were into the 3rd day of peaches (I started with rice for four days and then peach), it got pasty and she pooped on the Jan 11, Jan 12 and again on Jan 14. Jan 14 was when I started pumpkin...since then, she would poo during lunch and dinner while I feed her every day BUT it's very little compared to before. Before, it would be a lot but now, it's like 20 cent coins. It's paste-y, almost like soft cookie dough - a little more soft, stickier and slightly fluid.
I've just switched to plum puree today for breakfast, lunch and dinner (more like watery puree), and things are still the same - just now, during dinner, she tried to poo but nothing came out. Just some sticky poo stains. She doesn't turn super red or anything like that - usually she'd pause in the middle of a feed, shiver a little, grunt once or twice, maybe turn a little pink (this depends but this afternoon, this didn't happen), and I'd hear gas sometimes and she'd continue eating like normal.
Because she has never been intro-ed to the bottle, she also started taking water from a sippy cup on the 5th. She doesn't drink that much - at most 50 mls a day - but her wet diaper count is good. In fact, all her diapers now are heavier than usual. I do tummy massages and bicycle movements at least three times a day and she has a warm bath/soak once a day. Her tummy is soft, she doesn't feel bloated and her fussiness is more from teething, sleepy & being sticky and etc than constipation.
The thing is this - tomorrow it'll be the fourth day without a lot of poo. Should I be worried or is some poo better than no poo at all?
