Hi Bec, I was told by my ECHN that it is normal for a bf baby to poo every 3-5 days, so not every day. Matilda got constipation when she was 6 weeks old & we gave her some water in a bottle to help, but she wasn't that into it.
Another remedy that they use for constipation include diluted prune juice with cooled boiled water, cooled boiled water (around 100mls) with 1/2 tsp of brown sugar in it. But I guess I wouldn't want to be the one saying her baby is constipated without getting a nurse or GP to say that was the problem ykwim? Because for some babies, pooing every 3-5 days is normal :-k
