Baby constipated?

Question

My 7 week old hasn't pooped in two days. I breastfeed him only and usually he has a few dirty diapers a day. He's still eating like normal and has had plenty of wet diapers. Anyone experienced this with their little one? We see the pediatrician soon but I figured I'd ask here.

Answer

Nope! Breast fed babies can go up to 10 days without pooping. As long as it's not solid once the baby does poop!

Answer

Totally normal!! When it does happen...watch out! My baby started pooping only every 2-3 days at about 7 weeks.

Answer

Around 6/7 weeks their digestive system starts to mature and they can start pooing less often I wouldn't worry unless the poop is hard and crumbled when it comes out.

Some babies poo every day some every two and even some once a week.

Answer

If your baby is not pooping and in discomfort I resorted to prune juice ( 1 tablespoon for 4ounces) 2 bottles a day
It seemed to help but I was bottle feeding 
Also carouse syrup (white) helps too 
Would have to look that up

Answer

My baby had the same thing, my pediatrician who is highly rated recremmened giving her 1 ounce of Gerber baby apple juice a day and... It worked! She's been having one BM a day and has been less fussy and seems to be more happy.
