Help
I’ve been breastfeeding other than one bottle at night (either formula or pumped milk depending how much I get).
My daughter went from pooing a few times a day at 3 weeks to pooing once every other day now at 4 weeks. I know breast milk is a natural laxative so now i’m worrying she’s not getting enough or she’s constipated. She doesn’t seem agitated or hungry but i’m worried 😩.
Has anyone else experienced similar?
Thanks

That’s good to know - thank you, she lost quite a lot of weight after she was born so now i’m really paranoid but really want to stick at breastfeed this time 🤞🏼
@Victoria well done for keeping going!! It's worrying when something changes x
It's quite normal for breastfeed babies to go 2-3 days without a poo don't worry!
Thank you ☺️ that’s good to know, with midwife’s asking about number of wet and dirty nappies per day I wasn’t sure what was normal
Same happened to us! We went from dirty nappy everyday to no poo for 4 days and even 5 days! When he eventually sent it was …. Explosive 😂! Health visitor told me it’s normal as long as he doesn’t look uncomfortable and belly isn’t hard. Now he is a bit more regular !
Thanks so much ☺️

My 6 week old has been doing this for a week or two! Usually every other day but just went three days 😕 and then has a huge explosive poo hahha. Also a lot thicker than it used to be. Apparently it's ok unless it's hard and pellet like, it's them having to learn how to poo now than the reflex has gone!
