So my baby is 7 weeks old today. He sleeps well in his bassinet, he does 4 hours for his first stretch then he starts waking up every 2 hours. The problem is he needs to poo every times he feeds and this takes a lot of pushing and grunting even if he is asleep. Basically for the second part of the night he makes a lot of noise and wakes us up.. but he is actually still asleep. Sometimes I take off his diaper and hold him on the sink like he is squatting and he he makes his poo easier this way. Of course this wakes him up for good!!

So nights are a fight against his bowel movements💩😭

Doctor says it’s normal to go this often, but when does a baby reduces poopy diapers?

Anyone has this?
