Started weaning...how often should LO poo?

[blondebabe]

Ok so i've started with 1 teaspoon of baby rice mixed with formula milk which makes about 2/3 tea spoons of what i like to call wall paper paste lol

I give this once a day in the morning...altho LO is still waking up randomly at night for milk?? maybe go onto 2wice a day?

how often should LO poo? he normally goes every 2-3 days

Your baby wont start sleeping through just because you started weaning,mine still doesnt and he eats all day long!
Personally I think one meal a day is enough for a 4 month old.Milk is where his calories need to be coming from.
If you try fruit instead of/mixed with baby rice he will poo more often

I started with 1 teaspoon of baby rice and had to stop after 3 days as my LO became really constipated! I think I will start again when she is 6 months.

(my LO did actually sleep much better with the rice, but then had a few terrible nights due to the constipation)

You might have found even if you hadnt weaned he would have started waking more at night,a lot of babies his age who previously slept through start suddenly waking around 4 months and this is why a lot of people think its time to start weaning.Unfortunatly it isnt likely to help,but baby will outgrow the habit in their own time.
