He is EBF so I have no clue how much he eats in oz but hasn't had any issues nursing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-before-i-should-worry#post-824439 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 19:37:46 +0000 mrbee 824439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: If he's going a type 7, then I wouldn't think he's constipated... I would cut back on any prunes for now too!</p> <p>Is he eating much? It could just be a matter of volume... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-before-i-should-worry#post-824424 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 19:28:09 +0000 SleepyMonkey 824424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>this happened to us too when we started solids! she usually has 2-4 poops per day, then it was 3 or 4 days before she pooped. and then she pooped like 5-6 times over the next day and they were all gigantic. now it is maybe 1-3 times per day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-before-i-should-worry#post-824407 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 19:20:40 +0000 immabeetoo 824407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: thank you, that is reassuring! @autumnlove: that is what sounds logical to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-before-i-should-worry#post-824398 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 19:16:27 +0000 Weagle 824398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My pediatrician said not to worry unless there is blood or they are uncomfortable. Fwiw, from 3-8/9 months, my LO only pooped once a week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-before-i-should-worry#post-824395 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 19:12:31 +0000 immabeetoo 824395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: The only one he's had since we started solids was definitely still a 7! We're mostly letting him feed himself, so needless to say more is ending up on his face than actually in his stomach.... it's just freaking me out that it's been 4 days now and solids have been the only change. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-before-i-should-worry#post-824386 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 19:03:26 +0000 mrbee 824386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: Where did his bowel movement fall on the Bristol stool scale? That's one of the main ways I determine if there's a problem brewin'!<br /> <a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2012/12/04/the-ins-and-outs-of-poop-part-2-the-7-types-of-poop/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2012/12/04/the-ins-and-outs-of-poop-part-2-the-7-types-of-poop/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-before-i-should-worry#post-824384 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 18:59:25 +0000 autumnlove 824384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't worry until he shows signs of discomfort! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-before-i-should-worry#post-824382 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 18:58:13 +0000 immabeetoo 824382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO started solids last weekend and immediately went from super watery, EBF poos 1-3 times a day to once in the past week. He doesn't seem at all troubled or uncomfortable but I'm starting to worry! I tried to give him some prune puree this afternoon, I figured it couldn't hurt but... he was not into them so I don't think much went down!</p> <p>I've offered water at each sitting but he only drinks a little.</p> <p>When should I worry? Hoping he poops tomorrow! </p>
