Constipated?

Question

Hi ladies,
My little girl is 2 and half weeks old and it wasn’t until I woke up to feed her in the middle of the night just now that I realized she didn’t have poopy diaper today. Is it normal for newborns to miss a day pooping? The last few days leading up to today her poops have been much more “plentiful” than usual. 
She’s exclusively breastfed is she not getting enough?

Answer

As long as she has wet diapers, that's what matters. I think it's 6-8 wet diapers in a day and then as far as pooping goes she should be going atleast once every THREE days. So you have 2 more days to go. If nothing at that point, call your peditrician.

Answer

she's only constipated if poops comes out hard. they can skip several days but will eventually have a huge super wet poop so be prepared lol!

Answer

Is she still having wet diapers?

Answer

Yeah as long as she's having plenty of wet diapers you're in the clear. I just talked with my LO pediatrician and she said it's normal to skip a day. She said to only worry if it's 36-48 hours without a poopy diaper
