my son as well didnt used to poo until 5 days. we took him to the doc to get medication. after medication, still only poo after 5 days. then my husband read that some breastfed babies only poo once in 10 days!
he never had difficulty pooing. no crying nothing and he seemed happy baby.
anyway now he partially breastfed and formula. he goes poo once in 2 days
ya normally breastfeed can poo a lot of times in a day if not also at least once... think you better bring her to the pd if she takes few days to poo only once cos may show symptoms of constipation and it can be very painful for babies and even to adults... cos even my gal now also poo at least once to twice a day..oh my goodness...i thought the breastfeed should have regular poo...then that means i got to bring her to the doctor??
ya i think you shld and you can also get more advice from the pd too..oh no ...then i think i got to bring her to baby doc to check...sounds bad..
no prob =)ok thank you...
Carol.. Usually bfed babies don't poo daily. Pretty normal coz breastmilk is easily digested by the body. Pd did say 5-10days is normal. Unless she show signs of discomfort, then do bring her to the pd.Hi mummies out there,
recently i realised that my baby girl dont't poo everyday.. is it good for her...so far i only add up to 1 bottle of FM if my breast milk is not enough..if it's enough im total breast feeding her...Please advise...is this constipation??
