Breastfed baby hasn’t pooped in 3 days?

Question

I keep reading conflicting information that this is normal for breastfed babies and not normal? He is having many wet diapers, but no poo.
Following up with the Dr. this week, but just want some reassurance in the meantime. Anyone else have this issue? He’s 1 week old.

Answer

Absolutely normal. Keep in mind, breastmilk is made for baby so there’a very little waste produced. Up to two weeks is normal. We’ve gone 9 days.

Answer

Totally normal since breast milk is so easily digested that it leaves very little waste.

Answer

Thats normal. Breastfed babies can go 7 to 10 days without pooping.

Answer

With breastfed babies almost everything is absorbed so there will be little output. No need to worry over a week is perfectly normal

Answer

My daughter pooped a handful of times while we were in the hospital after she was born and then pretty much stopped for like a week after we got home. Doctor said it was totally normal. Now she's kind of on a "schedule" with it and goes three days in a row then nothing for four days and the cycle repeats. She's 3 months now.
