How often does your breast fed baby poop (over 6 weeks old)?

Question

I've gotten conflicting answers from different medical professionals about how long breast fed babies can safely go between bowel movements... Some have said 4 days.  Some have said up to 18 days... 😮

Answer

Mine said 5. The longest baby had gone was 2days and I was worried the whole time. It happened 2 times but usually he poops 1-2x a day.... yesterday he pooped 6x and I was like wth but kinda happy. My husband thinks I'm weird that I get happy everytime my son poops. Lol

Answer

I’ve also heard going a week without poop is normal for breastfed babies. 
Luckily my breastfed daughter still goes twice a day, even at 8 months. She’s only ever skipped a day at the most, here and there throughout these months.

Answer

My baby usually poops everyday but we've been told it's normal to go a week or so without any.

Answer

My friend brought her youngest (she was a month or two at the time) to the chiropractor and it fixed her constipation!!! Miracle workers!
