No poo for 4 days...normal?

[MantaRay]

That sounds fine to me hun. Some bf babies do stop daily poos that early. Enjoy your dirty nappy free days!

Phew..i am loving not having to change pooey nappies at all..well at least for a few days!
Thats really eased my mind thanks x

DD#1 was about 4 wks old when she started going only every few days - it was funny because her poo day always came around after I'd done a load of her washing so she'd end up pooing in the same suit everytime! And it was always super explosive - so it became known as her poo-suit

Yup... my DD liked to hold it in too. It's no fun if it lasts for too long as she'd get a bit miserable about it if it had been 4 or 5 days but mu MCHN said that some BF babies can poo as infrequently as once a week. She said it might actually be a good sign that she was 'using' most of the milk consumed and that very little was being made into 'waste'. Not sure about the latter theory but hey, we take the positives where we can get 'em eh??!! Good luck with the poo-splosions!!

SS we may have to have a poo suite I am hoping he can give me a sign like DS1 used to and maybe I will ahve him out of nappies early like DS1

Thanks girls x

Totally normal! My DS went for 6 days once! But then BOOM! 3 big dirty nappies in a row. And yes his farts smell more than his poo !
The parent helpline said some BF babies can go up to 12 days . I mights seek help if DS got more than a week or so - cause he tends to get upset around the 6 day mark. The look of relief afterwards is quite adorable!

DS has a chair he always seem to do it in! His poo chair!

My DS1 was fully BF and went 21 days, yes that's not a typo... 21 days...

I washed him, the jumpsuit, the sheets, the wall AND the curtains....
