When did your LO start to poop less?

For context, My EBF LO is 8 weeks old and we have been fighting with a persistent nappy rash since week 2 mainly because he is still pooing/sharting contantly throughout the day so it has been so hard to get on top off with the constant nappy changing, sometimes up to 21 times a day! The rash is only starting to heal now after 3 trips to the Dr's.

I have also recently cut out dairy to see if this makes any difference as his poos have mostly been green for the last few weeks and fluctuating between mucusy and frothy.

I had been told that breastfed babies start to poo a lot less once they hit 6-8 weeks, was this the case for your LO?

Can baby be more sleepy/ fed less the day after a cluster feeding session?

Hello, my LO is almost 3 weeks old and has been fairly regular for feeds at about 2 hour intervals since he was born! However, last night I think we had our first proper cluster feeding session where he fed roughly every 45 minutes to an hour for longer sessions than normal.

Today he has slept most of the day and I have had to wake him to feed and he is feeding for shorter windows than usual!

I am hoping this is just a side effect of cluster feeding rather than a supply issue or dehydration or something?
