When t was EBF he would usually go 4-5 days in between when he was that age. It was nice. Haha</p> <p>Breastmilk is so pure that there's barely any waste to eliminate. It's almost all absorbed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-45-month-old-hasnt-had-a-bm-in-35-days-help#post-1957447 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 08:01:57 +0000 tinyperson 1957447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO went 13 days around that time and then after then it was once a week like clockwork - till solids started. It was a nice break! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-45-month-old-hasnt-had-a-bm-in-35-days-help#post-1957371 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 03:09:41 +0000 gracecat 1957371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Normal!

My doc said if by 14 days there's nothing then we will look into it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-45-month-old-hasnt-had-a-bm-in-35-days-help#post-1957102 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 20:28:12 +0000 MrsB2012 1957102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's normal :) my daughter would go up to 12 days with no bowel movement when she was ebf </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-45-month-old-hasnt-had-a-bm-in-35-days-help#post-1957079 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 20:09:10 +0000 catomd00 1957079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Up to 10 days is fine for an ebf baby. My daughter went seven days a few times. They make up for it eventually! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-45-month-old-hasnt-had-a-bm-in-35-days-help#post-1957023 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 19:06:09 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1957023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds normal.

As long as the poop is soft once it starts coming out, everything should be fine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-45-month-old-hasnt-had-a-bm-in-35-days-help#post-1956966 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 18:13:13 +0000 Little Misters Mom 1956966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I posted basically this exact questions to the boards when DS was 4.5 months. <a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-worry-about-ebf-baby-not-pooping" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-worry-about-ebf-baby-not-pooping</a></p> <p>Everyone agreed it was no big deal, and normal. Sure enough he pooped on day 4. He'll occasionally go a day or two now, and I know not to worry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-45-month-old-hasnt-had-a-bm-in-35-days-help#post-1956946 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 17:54:01 +0000 thismustbetheplace 1956946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>(Moved thread from diapering to health) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-45-month-old-hasnt-had-a-bm-in-35-days-help#post-1956945 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 17:51:31 +0000 thismustbetheplace 1956945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's never gone this long before. I'm probably stressing more about this than he is but he does seem a little uncomfortable. His little belly doesn't seem hard or anything... But he's really squirmy and has been having more wake ups than usual. Am I just being a paranoid FTM and this is a normal digestive variation or is it something I should be concerned about? </p>
