my lo just turned 2 mos yesterday and we're on ebf! :) yesterday I noticed he only poops once/day but urines's fine. He gets wet 4-5 nappies/ day. Is his pooping normal? And another question, about 3-4 days ago lo prefers sleep than feed, I wake him every after 2-3 hrs or so. Feeding time gets a little lesser too. Does that mean he gets lesser milk than the usual? I noticed today my breast is leaking which does not happen. I got worried that lo might not be getting enough milk. Though during his waking time he's playful and alert. Thank you! :)

don't worry as this is perfectly normal. your baby at this age will poop once a day, and over the next few months, may not even poop at a stretch for 4 to 5 days. as long as your baby is passing enough urine and is energetic, it means that he is properly hydrated and fine. also, the sleep pattern will keep changing. at some age, your baby will want to sleep more and you will feel that you should wake him up to feed him, but it is fine to miss one or two feed sessions and sleep instead. later on, there will be times when you will feel your baby is barely sleeping! these are all phases of your baby's growth and by the time your baby is about a year old, he will fall into a routine that is more stable.
