No poop

it can be normal up to 7 days unless they’re showing signs of constipation 🤍

My pediatrician said 5-7 days especially if they’re on breast milk they can go a longer time until popping

thanks. I am breastfeeding

no same! but just take the win for now and worry if they don’t poop for a few days(like 5)

My dr said 4 took my baby to ER at 3 and they admitted her

My breastfed baby has gone up to 12 days between poops. Most of the time she ranges from 4-8 days, with a couple of 9’s and 10’s sprinkled in. The first time she went 10 days we took her in to the doc. She was surprised it had been so long, but checked her and said everything was normal but to bring her back in at 14 days. She went on day 12. We have gotten used to this as normal for her.

If he isn’t struggling, I wouldn’t worry too much, but if it’s out of the norm for him, he seems fussy, and appears to be struggling, you could check and see if he’s constipated, especially if he’s recently started solids.

my dr also said this was normal till I took her to ER for 2nd opinion idk what about it even sounds normal though bc if it’s not coming out then where is it going. My baby is now being referred out to a GI cause as they get older and this continues it’s clearly an issue cause again where is it going and when so much is backing up it can eventually cause a blockage then making it hard for them to poop and start to struggle.

interesting. I personally don’t have concerns as it never causes her to be upset or have any issues. I do know breastmilk is absorbed better and creates less waste than formula. Also, my little girl has grown REALLY fast. I assume as her intestines have grown, it has created more space for the waste to process through. She HAS been pooping a little more towards the 4-5 day mark for the last two weeks. But still, that is fairly infrequently.

Thanks everyone!
He went this morning at like 8am.,, just once.,, maybe he is transitioning to once a day? We have not started solids yet.

How many months is she ? My doctor said to give my 4 month old pure prune juice i got mine at whole foods for every month give them and oz mixed with there milk in a bottle or alone. So ive they eat 4 oz make the 4 plus an oz is what i did to equal the amount throughout the day. Or you can give the 4 oz just straight. The natural sugar pulls water into the poop so its a natural form of a laxative and safe
My son poops every 5 days normally
