Thanks so much Us Plus2, what a lovely post!

, it's so nice to be able to relax now and just enjoy my beautiful bubba without all that extra pressure! For a little while there I thought it wasn't going to be possible to breastfeed at all, which was a shock since this is my third baby, and the other two were easy to BF...but we are finally there.....and it is SO worth it!

Big congrats on getting to exclusively BF

Pie used to go up to 10-12 days between poos. We did worry because we had ehard it was usual for older babies, not young babies (this was between 1 - 8 weeks I guess?). But as with Audax's bub, as she got older she got more regular. She did get uncomfortable in the day or two before a poo, and I used to do a little bit of tummy massage as well. Plenty of wet nappies is good, and as long as the poo isn't hard & dry & pellety, then it's probably normal.

If her farts have been smelly, poop might not be too far away. That's what I found with DD anyway. Then again I'm not sure if formula would cause smellier (is that a word?) wind than BM. If she seems well, that's a good sign.
