Breastfed baby poo

Hi, just wondering how often people’s breastfed babies are pooing-mine normally goes every week to 9 days! Hes otherwise well, gaining weight well and plenty of wet nappies but just wondering if this is normal! Thanks!

Mine poos 5 times a day, but I wouldn’t be worried as your baby sounds totally healthy and not constipated. There just seems to be a lot of variation in this department, not sure why

Midwife told me its normal for breastfed baby to go 10 days without poo. As long as they are gaining weight, having 4-5 wet nappies evryday, its completely normal. For my EBF baby, she goes after every 3 days. Though it changed to twice everyday after jabs. But we are getting back to every third day.

It depends! I'd say daily, but then sometimes misses a day, sometimes 3 in a day!

Usually once a day but often skips a day.

Mine goes almost every time I check her nappy 😂 they’re all so different I’ve heard 10 days is when should check in with a doctor

@Indy same here x

Mine goes roughly every 9-10 days. But then can randomly go 3 tines in one week! Contacted the Dr and advised it is I frequent when breastfeeding but gave lactose and advised so long as baby can poop within 48hours of taking it then no need for concern. If he doesn't poop after taking it then to contact A&E. So far only needed to use the lactose twice. I defo notice a difference when I eat more fibre though!!!
