newborn not pooping

Katie

thank you everyone for helping me relax a little. im sure he is okay since he wets throughout the day. he has been quite fussy and i think he has gotten thrush since i was taking an antibiotic so im making a doctor appt in the morning and im going to bring this up then even though im much less worried about it now :)

update: my baby has gone from having a dirty diaper after almost every feeding to pooing only once a day. his belly feels hard but isnt distended and he seems fussier than usual and he farts a lot. any suggestions?

my son is now 17 days old fully breastfed. up until now he has been eating and pooping normally, a dirty diaper after almost every feeding. thursday (15 days old) he had fewer poops than normal. yesterday he only had 1 poop in the evening. today he hasnt pooped once. my milk supply has been good, i wake up full whenever i get more than 90 minutes of sleep. however he tends to fall asleep after only a few minutes sometimes he will stay latched for up to 10 minutes but once lets go i usually cant get him to take the other breast. i feed him whenever he acts hungry though. so i am unsure if he is eating enough or if he is constipated. i an going to start feeding him with a bottle so i can see how much he is eating but i would like some advice. if he still hasnt pooped normally by monday morning im making a doctor appt to have him weighed. he had been gaining weight really well before. was up almost a whole pound from birth weight at his last appt when he was 12 days old.
