Hey ladies,
Anybody that is breastfeeding noticed that their baby has gone days without pooping. My baby is 5 months old and one week and it’s been 3 days since he last stooled. He’s voiding just fine btw. I know this can be normal but just wanted to see if anybody of yours babies has experienced this. First time this has ever happened. He usually poops once or twice a day.

YES around 5 months mark my baby has started going every other day than every 2-3 days … he’s almost 6 month and he just went almost a week . My pediatrician told me it’s normal as long as their tummy is not hard,they’re passing gas as normal and they are not uncomfortable. She suggested doing bicycle legs and stretches to help 💩

my babies pediatrician did warn me about this and told me not to panic! As someone mentioned already if their belly isn’t hard and they are passing gas then they should be fine. Their stool experiences a lot of change as their gut becomes more mature!

Yes! Mine started going every other day or every two days around 5 months. And when she goes, she GOES

Same!!!! Ped told me it’s normal tho, up to 5 days

Mine still poops every day but it used to be multiple times and here lately it’s once and it’s like badddd! Lol 😂 he goes through almost every time cause it’s like he gets it all out at once instead of several times a day like in the past.
