LISTEN TO THIS PODCAST EPISODE:
All parents obsess about their baby's poo at some point.
But do we need to?
Charlotte is an IBCLC Lactation Consultant and poo enthusiast. She has been supporting families with infant feeding for many years, and during the COVID-19 pandemic realised quickly that parents did not have access to the resources they needed when it came to checking their baby's poo.
With swarms of misinformation to wade through, and little to no access to usual services, parents were finding it challenging to know what was normal. Charlotte's research and time supporting families during this period led to the creation of the Baby Poo Gallery! A resource that can be accessed via Facebook which shows infant poo in the many and varied forms it can come in, neatly categorised so you can easily find what you're looking for.
In today's episode, I talk to Charlotte about why poo matters, what a baby's poo may be telling you and why, and how best to support a baby with a poo issue.
