When should I worry?

Question

Hi guys, my baby is almost 5 months old (in about 10 days) she is breastfed and she has only been pooping every second day for nearly a week now. Could it be something to do with my diet? I try different remedies to try help her but nothing seems to work.

Answer

Agreed! Doc said not to worry if baby is not uncomfortable unless they hit a crazy 7 day stretch then reach out. At this age their digestive system changes and processes breast milk so efficiently that they produce very little bile to poop out.

Answer

My baby will be 5mo on the 11th, and she sometimes poops only once a week . Her dr said it’s totally normal for breastfed babies . As long as baby is not showing signs of discomfort or fusses, it should be fine.

Answer

I've been told it's totally normal for breastfed babies to go days without pooping
