I’m not qualified to give medical advice but I had this with my baby since 12ish weeks (she’s now 16weeks) - sometimes it’s every 3rd day, sometimes every 2nd. She is EBF and used to poop every day a couple of times then somewhat suddenly it changed. Are you BF or using formula? I asked my HV back then and they were not concerned at all as long as baby isn’t showing any signs of constipation and is peeing still.
Her poos started to slow down, she would go frequently throughout the day Then it dropped to 1/2 a day and now nothing. Okay thank you, I can’t wait for the explosion 😂
BF babies can go 7 days without pooping. My son got an every 2-3 day poop schedule kinda made my life easier as I could predict “poop days” he’s 17m now and poops multiple times a day. Nothing to be concerned about until LO starts solids. Could cause discomfort so just tummy massages to help settle the gas and tummy
Haha yeah I do find that now when she goes she really goes! Don’t get complacent, always have a spare sleepsuit with you haha (we learned that lesson the hard way!
She still is having wees and is EBF Doesn’t seem uncomfortable just passing a lot of wind
No need to worry, EBF babies can go up to 2 weeks without a poop. As long as baby seems fine all good.
Mine has been doing this recently (he’s 20 weeks). He would poo daily now it’s very irregular. Think the most he went was 5 days then exploded! But think it’s very normal for breastfed baby’s to do this.
