Baby Pooping While Feeding?

Question

Is it normal for baby to poop while breast feeding? My son does it every time, he’ll just get his diaper changed, start feeding and BOOM, immediate poop. Could it be the way I am holding him while he’s feeding or what?

Answer

Normal. It is great when it comes out of the diaper while feeding too 👌🏻

Answer

Totally normal

Answer

Definitely normal, my daughter did thing same thing while being breastfed. I always laughed that she was just making room for more🤷‍♀️🤣

Answer

From healthline:
Gastrocolic reflex in infants
Most babies have an active gastrocolic reflex that causes them to have a bowel movement immediately after eating — or even while eating — for their first few weeks of life. This is especially true for breastfed babies and is perfectly normal. Over time, the reflex becomes less active and the time between eating and their stools will decrease.

Answer

Mine does it too. Not at every feed, but during at least one feed the pooping will coincide lol

Answer

mine still does that sometimes and he’s 6 months. i think the nursing stimulates them
