Breastfeed baby and poop
Show your support
@Charlie no one said that breastfeeding babies don't poop at all. They can go up to 14 days after they are a certain age.
He finally had two big poop diapers today
I see where someone said it isn’t normal/good for breastfed babies to go days without pooping. Just know that not everyone has the same experience. Every mom I know whom has EBF has had babies that pooped maybe once a week, like actual poop (rather than just a smidge here and there). So don’t waste time being worried or upset. Just make sure baby’s tummy doesn’t feel too firm/look bloated and you should be fine. And whenever I’m doing, just give your Peds doctor a call. :) Breastmilk has VERY little waste, so their body doesn’t have as much outgoing stuff. :)
Good luck, glad your baby is popping again.
Breastfed babies can go up to 14 days without pooping (especially after supply regulates) since your body makes exactly what baby needs. As long as there are enough wet diapers and baby is gaining/not in distress, then it's all good.
