I've read it's normal and not a concern for bf babies to only poop a few times a week but I've yet to experience it myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/7-week-old-hasnt-pooped-in-3-days#post-2226280 Fri, 03 Jul 2015 20:25:31 +0000 SeptMomma12 2226280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Update: She pooped :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/7-week-old-hasnt-pooped-in-3-days#post-2226183 Fri, 03 Jul 2015 17:08:03 +0000 Kemma 2226183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SeptMomma12: my little guy has only pooped twice a week since he was six weeks old! You can do some gently tummy massage (in a clockwise direction) or bicycling her wee legs to help get her moving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/7-week-old-hasnt-pooped-in-3-days#post-2226173 Fri, 03 Jul 2015 16:55:32 +0000 Banana330 2226173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 8 weeks she started pooping once a day. But when she does look out! especially in those early 8/9 weeks. Now at 11 weeks she's pooping once a day sometimes twice but a much smaller amount. It's weird at first but I love cleaning up less poop! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/7-week-old-hasnt-pooped-in-3-days#post-2226155 Fri, 03 Jul 2015 16:08:15 +0000 SeptMomma12 2226155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GoGoSnoGirl: Right? I can't believe I'm missing the days she was pooping 5 times a day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/7-week-old-hasnt-pooped-in-3-days#post-2226154 Fri, 03 Jul 2015 16:05:24 +0000 SeptMomma12 2226154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrswin: Thank you! Her last poop, on Tuesday, was kinda thicker than usual, but hopefully that's just her digestive system maturing as my milk changes. It's so nerve-wracking! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/7-week-old-hasnt-pooped-in-3-days#post-2226153 Fri, 03 Jul 2015 16:02:31 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2226153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SeptMomma12: I just read that this is normal at about that age &amp; that ebf babies can't get constipated, so not to worry. It does seem alarming (especially after MANY poops per day!), but seems to be normal. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/7-week-old-hasnt-pooped-in-3-days#post-2226143 Fri, 03 Jul 2015 15:41:59 +0000 mrswin 2226143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SeptMomma12: Don't worry! I attend a breastfeeding support group and we were just talking about this today. The norm according to LL is one poop every one to seven! days at that age<br /> <a href="http://www.llli.org/faq/bm.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.llli.org/faq/bm.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/7-week-old-hasnt-pooped-in-3-days#post-2226142 Fri, 03 Jul 2015 15:39:00 +0000 SeptMomma12 2226142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My EBF 7 week old hasn't pooped in three days. I called the doctor and they said not to worry because stooling patterns can change around this age, especially in breastfed babies. She's fussier than normal but not terrible. Anyone else have this happen? Is there anything I can do to help her go? </p>
