    When DS went week/s between poo's he would still grunt occasionally, and do some seriously noxious farts! I'd ring the ABA if you're still concerned, it would be very unusual for a bf baby to be constipated though and I'd be hesitant about introducing any drugs to her. Give it a few more days and try to emotionally prepare for the mountain of poop Buy big gloves!

    Your GP is a loony... It will come eventually. If shes not upset by it, i wouldnt worry. She will let you know if shes in pain, im sure

    Wow hun crazy GP.

    If you are really worried move her legs like in a bike cycling, or try cooled camomille tea or a small amount of prune juice. But if tummy soft and she is not distressed I wouldn't worry.

    Yay! I remember J went 15 days without one and everyone warned me it would be huge and it wasn't, he then followed that regular sized one with another 10 days without one and then did the same again! I remember marvelling at how efficient the body and breast milk are!
