Breast-fed Poos!!!!!

[Brockie]

hi ladies!

just a quick question, Freddie has been doing about 5 poos a day so far and im breastfeeding him, i know at first they have little control over their bowels hence the expolsive yellow poos!

but yesterday he only have 1 poo! of course now im worrying a bit now i think i remember health visitor saying about 3 weeks on he may go even a week with no poo as their is very little waste with B-Milk?! is this right? he is absolutely fine on himself no apparant tummy ache etc.

anyone else experienced this?

thanks gals hope all well!!!

Yeah it's completely normal, they can go up to a week without it and be just fine. Like you said, there is very little waste with breastmilk. Unless he seems to be in pain, or straining to go I wouldn't be worried

This happened my my LO when she was tiny - didn't go for about a week and then when she went it was everywhere! So much so that I rang the h/v as I was worried she might have a tummy upset. But that was the norm for quite a few weeks. Now she tends to go pretty much once a day, maybe once every other so no don't worry!

i think it has somethin to do with their tummies growing, and also that theres little waste! i was well worried the first day katie didnt poo, cos she used to do one every time i changed her. now she does a couple every other day!

I was changing Olivers nappy about 10 times a day, then suddenly, he didn't do one for a few days! I was so worried, but the doctor said it is completely normal to chop and change like this. As long as he isn't grumpy, with a temperature and is keeping his feed down, he should be ok.

I agree with Kat. Seth goes several times a day, but either is normal. It is very rare fore a BF baby to get constipated.

As the babies grow and their digestive systems mature they'll poop less. One of my nieces literally went once a week! My ten-week old still poops four-six/day but that down from the eight-nine he did as a newborn.

Mine can go 6 days! But in the first few weeks it was definatly hourly!

Watch out when it comes again after being absent for a while.....it explodes in their nappy!!!
