No poop?! 6 week old baby exclusively bf typically poops 2-3x per day now hasn’t pooped in 36 hrs. Is this sudden change normal?

Question

Answer

Yes, very normal. Breastmilk is so easily digested that it leaves very little waste.

Answer

Breastfed babies can go up to 10-14 days without a bowel movement. Breast milk digests well which makes for less waste. I remember my daughter went 8 days once when she was a few months old. Just prepare for some blowouts :)

Answer

My daughter can go up to 5 days with no poop. It’s normal for breastfed babies

Answer

Normal!  I’ve notified with my son that he stops pooping when he’s going through a growth spurt.  It’s like he needs to soak it all up

Answer

Yes very normal for bf babies :)
