Baby Poop
Hang around new parents for long, and baby poop will come up. I promise. As gross as it is, it's a frequent topic of conversation among parents. The website babycenter.com even has a photo guide to help parents better understand their baby's poop. Much to my consternation, with Jack, I haven't had much to talk about. For some reason, unlike his sister, this boy is not much of a pooper. As of today, it's been eight and a half days since his last poopy diaper. I know...right...eight and a half days. That seems crazy to me. The first time he went four days, and I assumed it was a fluke. Then he went five days after that and I took him to the doctor. She said it's not abnormal and nothing to worry about. Now, it's been eight days, and I have to admit I'm a little worried. I feel like it has to be bothering him, but if it is, it's only slightly. For the most part he is totally eating and sleeping as normal. He does have a little extra gas and is fussy at times, but not terribly. I'm not really complaining because it has saved us lots of laundry compared to Lily, but it's weird...anyone else out there have babies who went that long?

The quote that comes to mind is " ten times a day, once every ten days, or anywhere in between in normal for a breastfeeding baby." I have a friend whose baby pooped once a week. It was always a real doozy, but she was very predictable. Just hope it doesn't happen in public ;)
