poop?

[Helzy]

Lo is 10 weeks, so had reduced his poops to about two a day. I was expressing and giving him about 8oz from a bottle alongside nursing (so oh could feel involved). The past few days he has mostly bf with about 2oz from a bottle. Anyway, he has gone from two poops a day to none for four days! He's still passing wind, more bottom burps than burps though. Is this normal, or is he constipated? How do I know?

Very normal for poops to decrease in frequency. If you still have lots of pee diapers and baby is gaining weight, I wouldn't worry. If his poop is hard when he finally does go, get it checked out (though exclusively bf babies rarely get constipation).

My son went 18 days one time. It was so worrisome! As a heads up, he would get very cranky a few hours to a day before pooping

wss^^

it's very normal. LO went a week without poo when she was around that age. And sometimes she would poo whenever she nursed!

And beware... the next poo will be HUGEEE if LO went a few days w/o one~
