Question

[RKeith]

As for another question that I have is:
My kids are 3 months old, going on 13wks. They tend to poop either about once a day or once in a great while. Is this normal?

An another thing is that I've got one kid whom LOVES to nurse. I mean if she could do it for the complete day, she would. What should I do about it? In short it leaves me with either no time to do house work or long hours of her fussing.

Just thought of something else. Is it normal for a person to change a kids diaper about 3 or 4 times a day with a 3 month old? JC as that's about how often I do it.

If kids are ebf, they may not poop very often. As long as it's soft when it does come, not problem. DD would go about once or twice a week.

A sling might help with your all day nurser. My first was like that. I just let the house go for the most part. He eventually grew out of it.

Number of diaper changes depends on how much your little on is peeing/pooping and how wet you're willing to let the diaper get. I'm not sure there's really a normal there.

First off congrats on your babies!

I personally give my DD a paci, to help her soothe while I do things I need too...others may disagree with that idea, but it works for me I know she's full, but just wants to soothe a little so I do as much as I can then offer the paci.

On the poops/pees DD normally goes through bout 10 diapers between 8a-8p about 1 an hour or so I guess, she usually only poops once, maybe twice a day.

I saw you siggy about PPD...how are you doing?

Today I'm doing good. Will hopefully be going to a doc for my 6wk PPC, post-partum check up. I may have 3 forms of insurance. Doubt it though. As I know 1 will be from the military and the other will most likely be OHP.

Congrats on your twins and the ability to breastfeed both! That is no small task :::claps:::

The poop thing is completely normal, here is a link: www.drjaygordon.com/development/bf/thrush.asp

You need to see a minimum of six wet diapers in a 24 hour period, if your getting that then your fine:)

I change DD's diaper every 2 hours or so whether she needs it or not, have since she was born 4.5 mos ago. I dont change it it the middle of the night though unless its soaked or poopy cause it wakes her up too much. She, too was a constant nurser until about a month ago. She wouldnt take a binky so I let her nurse as often as she wanted. With everything else I have going on-2 step-kids, part-time job, dog, cats, housework, nursing has become my favorite excuse to sit down for a few minutes!!

Today for the PPD it is not going so good. Things just seem to be going south. I told my MIL and hubby that today I would like to go to target to get the regristry done. We are to have a shower around the 2nd of November, but I really don't know if we'll have one or not. My mom called off the one she was doing because of a few things, one being that she didn't feel that I respected her enough to have. Another reason, was because people were dropping by and things off. These are my first set of kids and I don't want to miss out on anything, as it looks like I am. T_T
The grandparents don't even let me know when they're stopping by to pick things up! This really annoys me. Right now, I wish things were a lot different.

As for what is going on with the kids, they are doing fine. Don't really have any questions. Just a comment, neither of my kids will keep a pacifer in their mouth for long.
