Thicker poop???

[sweet_ashes2209]

My Lily is almost 4 months old and suddenly her poop has been on the thicker side like a paste. She is EBF so no solids of any kind. Is this normal??

Is she going less often? My dds thickened up when she went less frequently.

That young, I don't remember any of mine having that. Has it been a while since she pooped, or does she still do it every day? Is it still bright yellow/orange breastfed poop?

I know when my oldest was around 6 months old (still mostly breastfed, she wouldn't take solids from a spoon, but she would have the occasional bite), I had gone to visit my family, and she didn't have a poop the entire time we were there. On the way home, I kid you not, we stopped by a gas station for a potty break before hopping on the interstate, and that kid pooped paste for at least half an hour.

Yes she used to go many times a day but now it's about every other day to 2 days between.

It's still the right color just thick like past and I'm used to it being the kind of runny with those small chunks She doesn't have any bites of food yet so that's why I'm like is this normal??.

Could also be thicker because there's less water in it because it's so hot out and baby is sweating some of that water out. But if memory serves my babies' poop got less seedy then less watery as time went on.

I'm not going out it's to hot lol I live in Texas. Thanks it's been over 4 years since my oldest was a baby so I couldn't remember.

Normal. As long as it's not super hard or pellet like it's fine.

I heard its even hot in Alaska. But yeah, I always remember being a bit shocked that the poop turned to something like peanut butter when nothing changed yet in baby's diet. Did you ever think you'd become such s poop detective?!?
