Breastfed baby - constipated?

[starangelk]

He's 5 months old, bf's 5 times in 24 hours minimum, has constant wet nappies and great weight gains....he's 75th percentile and very chubby looking.

I have only offered him water once, he is solely bf/Ebm bottle fed.

Thanks for your feedback, I will make a Gp appointment

This happens to many babies at about 5 months. As long as when the poo comes out it is soft then he's not constipated, it's just that he is using up every last bit of it so doesn't create much waste
He may get a bit of wind pain though.

Do a search on this topic and I'm sure you will find its quite common!
