Breastfeed baby and poop

How long is too long for a breastfeeding baby to go without a poop? My baby will be six weeks on Wednesday and hasn’t had a poop the last two days. He’s had plenty of pee diapers but no poop. Is this normal?

@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.

This is not true. Your baby should be pooping every day if they're under 6 weeks. It could be that your baby is nearly 6 weeks and fine but the myth that breastfed babies do not poo is dangerous. https://www.laleche.org.uk/is-my-baby-getting-enough-milk/#dirtynappies https://www.instagram.com/p/CoCa-iDNOIN/ https://www.breastfeedingnetwork.org.uk/how-do-we-help-families-to-trust-responsive-feeding/#:~:text=Reassurance%20comes%20from%20mums%20knowing,that%20might%20it%20slow%20down. https://llli.org/babys-poop/ https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.unicef.org.uk/babyfriendly/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/05/Guidance-challenges-sheet-5D-concerns-about-weight-.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwj83uHZ9Oj9AhWvQkEAHUguBAAQFnoECBQQBg&usg=AOvVaw30KwFUu7RbKZru__0GLhOC

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.
