No poop for 2 days

[smurff]

Hi, I'm really concerned about my lo, he is 1 tomorrow. On Wednesday he decided to eat a little bit of his weaning spoon, I got a bit out his mouth but he must have swallowed the rest. I've been waiting for him to pass it through naturally but he hasn't had a poo for 2 days. He's perfectly happy and not in pain, he's sleeping normal and eating and drinking normal. Is going 2 days unusual ?

Please can any one tell me if this is normal, I'm going out my mind with worry.

Not at all unusual for this to happen every now and then - mine occasionally goes up to three or four days, but usually every day or every other day. Is it hot where you are? Maybe he needs extra fluids right now? That helps to keep my LO regular.

I don't find it unusual. My daughter didn't go 3-4 days sometimes. I think if something was wrong, he wouldn't be eating or playing normally. He'd be crying.

my boy sometimes goes for 14 days without a poo! it's normal for my baby and docs aren't concerned as no signs of distress

Thanks everyone, that was a huge relief, he finally went the following morning about 3 times but if it happens again I won't worry so much x
