My 5 week old hasn’t had a poo in about 2/3 days. Is this normal for a breastfed baby? I never had this with my first as he pooped after every feed. Not too sure if to call the doctor or not, she doesn’t seem to be in any pain. X

Mine has been like this on and off for a week. Again like you never experienced it!
She’s going every 2/3 days, warm bath helped on day 3 . X

It can be normal yes 🙂

We’re on day 5 here 🙃

My baby’s 5 weeks and has been like this since week 2/3 I changed to the comfort milk x

I’ve been told anywhere from 7-10 days is normal for a breastfed baby but one day without pooping and my baby is pretty uncomfortable. I can’t imagine going that long 😩

It’s normal, and it’s ok if baby isn’t in pain. You can always try massaging tummy in clockwise motion if u feel baby needs it, nice bath.

It’s totally normal for breastfed baby’s to go a week without going apparently, saying that though my girl goes every other day and seems uncomfortable if she doesn’t so not sure how much I believe that

My 6 week old is the same but generally seems fairly comfortable. The amount that comes out when she goes 2 days is wild though, couldn’t imagine any more!!!

I had this too! We got to 6 days I was so worried, but the midwife wasn’t concerned! I now combi feed and he goes mostly once a day x

My little boy has consistently only popped every 2/3 days since birth and our midwife said it's fine, just how some do it. When he goes it's massive!
