Only popping once a week

Hi mama’s - my 5 month baby for the last few weeks has started to only poop every 5 days or so. Prior to this he’d have at least 2 poops a day and all of a sudden it’s changed to once every 5 days or so. He seems fine in himself / but I’m worried as this doesn’t seem normal?? He’s exclusively breastfed… any one else had a baby do this? X

It can change! Mine pooped 12 times a day, then 6, then every feed then once every few days then back to multiple times a day😂

They only really worry if it doesn’t happen for 10-14 days!

Oh gosh I’ve just been sat here thinking where do they store it when they’ve not pooped for 5 days?! So odd to me as this never happened with my first! Thanks for responding ladies xx

It's understandable to feel concerned about the change in your baby's poop pattern. Since he's exclusively breastfed and seems fine otherwise, it might be related to his digestion adjusting. Babies' poop frequency can vary, especially with breastfed babies. However, if you're worried, it's always a good idea to reach out to your GP for reassurance. They can provide guidance tailored to your baby's needs. It's great that you're keeping an eye on his health!
