Thoughts/ideas/opinions???
This is my first baby that has had only breast milk
Though watch out! Often you'll be surprised with a gigantic load when he goes again!
Normal. If he seems really uncomfortable though you can try a warm bath, bicycle his legs, tummy massage, or YOU drink a couple glasses of apple juice.
Breastfed babies go a long time without pooping and it's perfectly fine.
Mine did the same thing for quite a long time.
They say it's because they get so much nutrients in breastmilk there is no excess, and it's so easy for their body to digest.
My daughter (she was exclusivley breastfed) went through a period at about 3 months old where she only pooped once every few days...I thought she was constipated so I took her to the dr.. He said it's okay for a breastfed baby to go up to 10 without pooping, because breastmilk is so easily digested there just isn't much waste left over.
