I usually just wait until my little one is naturally done feeding. Most of the time it take him a few minutes anyways to push out all of the poop so I like to wait a small amount of time anyways to prevent a poo disaster while changing lol

Unless it's a blowout, I let her kinda finish feeding so that I can clean her without her being fussy

Carry on unless they show signs of uncomfort. My baby can feed and poop at the same time 👌🏼😂 he’ll pause in between sucks but that’s about it

I usually wait a few mins after feeding. Give some belly rubs and bicycle kicks to make sure all the poo is out lol

@Samantha I second this.

Depends on if you can tolerate the smell 🤣

If I’m trying to put him bag to bed after breastfeeding, I will pause breastfeeding (usually between boobs if possible) and change the diaper. He’s much easier to put back to sleep when he’s half asleep and milk drunk from the boob and diaper changes wake him up!

My infant feeding helper told me that the sucking motion while feeding also stimulates the urge to poop/the bowel. So it’s very common for babies to do that. It’s annoying though as it can be a distraction for them doing two things at once! And smelly 😂
