Whoa that is a lot of poop

Breast feeding has been such a learning experience for me in every way. I’ll touch more in the subject later but this was a very interesting fact I learned early on which might be of interest to some. I attended Dr. Newmans’ fabu clinic in A-dot and while I was there some chick mentioned that breast fed babies don’t always poop a lot. One woman's kid - a poop record breaker - didn’t have a dump for 31 days! Apparently one of the perks of breast milk is that it is absorbed really well into the babies body and sometimes it is all used up which negates the need for the little wonder to do a pooper.

Finn tested this theory and at around 2 months just stopped pooping. At first I was alarmed but remembered this poop record breaker so I just sat back and waiting. One day, two days, three days...ok starting to worry...four days...five days...please kid poop already...six days and then on fateful day seven we experienced the poopinator. When I say there was a lot of shite, I mean there was a LOT of shite. All down the leg, all up the back, all over mommy (good times) and all over almost every surface of the change table. So if your kiddie decides to absorb most of the good old breast milk and stops pooping..better start preparing for the poopinator to emerge and keep them off the white couch...
