How long without popping?

Question

How long before you would get concerned if baby hasn't pooped (exclusively breastfed)?

Answer

I’m shocked by the answers below.. if my little girl didn’t poop in like 15 hours I’d be concerned. She’s exclusively breast fed and poops constantlyyyyy

Answer

I was concerned about this as well, but her doctor said some breastfed babies poop 1x a week—if that. So at this point she poops every 2/3 days and sometimes 2x a day.

Answer

It’s recommended either you take a pro/prebiotic supplement or eat activia yogurt daily. That way babies poops are more regular. But my baby does go about 3-4 days without pooping sometimes when I don’t eat the yogurt. (Honestly I’m not the biggest fan and I haven’t stopped to get the supplement.)

Answer

I’m not sure when you should be concerned but if my daughter doesn’t poop at least twice in a day, she will be fussy at night trying to get one out. I’d probably start worrying after 18 hours or so🤷‍♀️

Answer

My breastfeed son mostly poos every 4 days. Sometimes it's more frequent sometimes less.

Answer

My doctor said they can go like 12 days without pooping! My little guy hasn’t. I want to say he’s gone max 24 hours, and only a few times. Even though I’ve been told it’s normal I would still be nervous after 2+ days of no pooping! Weirds me out that they can go that long lol

Answer

Mine has gone up to 8 and even then the dr wasn’t worried unless she were to stop passing gas or start seeming uncomfortable

Answer

A breastfed baby can go up to 18 days. Watch to see if baby is uncomfortable or if their belly is hard. If neither apply they are fine for up to 18 days.

Answer

My LO doctor said after 5 days and that’s IF baby seems to be really uncomfortable.. My LO has gone 4 days longest lol
