Pooping 💩

Bf baby’s can go maybe 5 or so days before it’s a concern, my formula fed baby would go only every 3 days, the hv said it’s not constipation unless it’s the rock solid balls, it’s okay if it’s normal and not going every day. The dr told me 6-12 weeks they’re still figuring out their pelvic floor and digesting etc, my lo grew out of it and goes often now. You can try little bits of water, ready made milk, or warm baths, bicycle legs, tummy massages. If baby don’t seem bothered or struggling in pain etc that’s a good sign x

Mine went 11 days 🫠 but was well within himself the WHOLE time. At 7 days we saw the doctor just for peace of mind, same at day 9, and we saw them just after his poop on day 11 as well (when the doctor was going to get the paediatric team to see him, but thankfully didn’t need that). He is EBF. See your doctor if you’re concerned though

You want to keep an eye on consistency more so than frequency. It’s normal to go days without a poop so long as the poops aren’t hard and dry
