6 weeks and no poop today?

Question

My daughter usually poops a few times a day (haven’t kept track in awhile but usually 3-4 in 24 hours). Now she hasn’t pooped since yesterday, about 24 hours ago. She’s only nursing- no bottles or formula. Should I worry? She’s eating fine, no fever. She has been more fussy this week but has pooped regularly despite that.

Answer

I have read breastfed babies can go awhile with out a poopie diaper because their bodies are pretty much absorbing the nutrients

Answer

Breast fed baby can go up to 7 days without pooping as long as they dont seem like they are in pain I would worry. Grunting and straining is normal. This is my second my baby. My first would go up to a week before going. Then would go no  issues. Q

Answer

My son is eight weeks old, around that same time, perhaps even at five weeks, he started going a day or two between pooping. He’s even gotten up to four and five days between going now. Doctor says it’s 100% healthy and normal. Exclusively breast-fed babies can go up to 1 to 2 weeks 😳

Answer

Breastfeed babies poop a lot less. Mine gives me one dirty diaper every two days.

Answer

I think I remember seeing an article on here around week 6 stating that their poops can change/become less frequent around that age.
I can't say for certain if that's a true, as my LO is 8 weeks now and formula fed. She only averages one poop a day.

Answer

My boy is almost 8 weeks old and didn't poop at all from yesterday afternoon to almost noon today. And it was 3 diapers in quick succession of very runny poop! I'm pretty impressed the pocket diapers kept it in, because wow was it BAD! It's not unusual for breastfed babies to do that.
