1 week old - how often should she poop? Worried.

Question

Hey everyone, my baby girl was born August 6th at 9:17 pm. She was having regular daily or more poops until yesterday. The last time she pooped was around 6 pm Aug 12th... I have been formula feeding. At first was the ready-made pre-made bottles but also have incorporated the powder formula since we are home. She is still tooting and eating well and often. I just read where pooping at least once a day is good and then elsewhere where it's okay if they go a couple of days without pooping. Does anyone have any insight here?

Answer

Totally fine if they go a day or two without pooping!
If baby seems uncomfortable, or if they’re poop is firm then they could be constipated and you might want to call the doctor for advice. But otherwise if baby is happy and acting normal then no worries :)
