Linn, GP told me that 9 days is too long and I should do something about it (others say 2 weeks, the advice varies really).
Lexi goes anytime from 3 to 8-9 days. I just watch her and if she gets very uncomfortable offer some water, if that does not help then supository as the last resort. I also noticed her poo was quite thick last time, I believe it was because of the hot weather and dehydration.
I don't think there is something wrong with your milk, she is just developing her digestive system and it happens in stages. One thing you can try is to drink a lot of orange or prune juice yourself or eat prunes and vegetables, see if that helps.
