I'm all prepared for an overnight poopsplosion of epic proportions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-poop-when-to-get-concerned#post-1063561 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 20:50:36 +0000 cmomma17 1063561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I even posted about it on Facebook. Total over share but hey, this is my life now! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-poop-when-to-get-concerned#post-1063518 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 20:34:25 +0000 mrs.cookie 1063518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My EBF LO only pooped every couple of days - sometimes only once a week! It freaked me out but apparently is totally within normal range. I knew a poopathon was coming by her grizzly behaviour the day before.babies are so weird. Glad your little man is feeling a bit, um, lighter and happier :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-poop-when-to-get-concerned#post-1063509 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 20:29:23 +0000 Bookish 1063509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: hehe. LO only poops every couple of days, but when she does....holy crap. It's insane. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-poop-when-to-get-concerned#post-1063495 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 20:25:07 +0000 Smurfette 1063495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: yay!! You know you are a Mom she you get excited about poop! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-poop-when-to-get-concerned#post-1063479 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 20:19:24 +0000 cmomma17 1063479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Such a totally TMI thing to update on, but LO finally pooped. So. Much. Poop. I think he feels much better ... :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-poop-when-to-get-concerned#post-1062660 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 14:29:23 +0000 Bao 1062660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A went 16 days once. I asked the ped and she said typically up to 10-14 days can be normal as long as there is no fever, vomiting, hard tummy, unhappy baby etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-poop-when-to-get-concerned#post-1062617 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 14:14:16 +0000 cmomma17 1062617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Called my doctor just to be safe. Totally normal, like you all said (unless he was in pain or miserable, which he's not). They just said to bicycle his legs a lot and use a Vaseline coated qtip to *ahem* stimulate things. I did and no progress yet ... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-poop-when-to-get-concerned#post-1061285 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 08:00:59 +0000 Trailmix 1061285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of mine has gone a week without pooping, dr said its totally normal :) We busted out the prune juice on day 7 and within an hour, got results! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-poop-when-to-get-concerned#post-1061263 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 07:49:19 +0000 JoJoGirl 1061263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, good to know, we had the same question this morning when LO didn't poop for 48 hrs. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-poop-when-to-get-concerned#post-1061247 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 07:44:53 +0000 Ree723 1061247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, not a concern yet! As they get older, babies' bodies get more and more efficient at taking what they need from BM. And with BM, there's really no "waste" product so up to ten days is considered perfectly normal. Now once they're on solids, that's a whole different story.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-poop-when-to-get-concerned#post-1061228 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 07:29:42 +0000 Adira 1061228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>EBF babies can go up to 10 days (or longer) without pooping!!! I definitely wouldn't be concerned until it's been at least a week. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-poop-when-to-get-concerned#post-1061206 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 07:22:36 +0000 aprk 1061206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't be worried about no poops for at least 5 or 6 days. EBF babies are efficient at using their nutrients! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-poop-when-to-get-concerned#post-1061188 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 07:12:09 +0000 tinyperson 1061188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We waited a week, then went in to see the dr. The longest she's gone was close to three weeks, but we were giving her prune juice several times a day, and she wasn't fussing or upset. Once she went it was the same consistency as it always was, so dr figures she was just using everything! Now that she's on solids, were back up to several poos a day - it was a nice break when she went once a week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-poop-when-to-get-concerned#post-1061160 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 06:53:28 +0000 cmomma17 1061160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is four months and hasn't pooped in well over 24 hours. :( first time this has happened. He uses poops 2-3 times a day. He's EBF. Not nursing long most sessions, very gassy (farts). Seems fine otherwise but I'm worried! </p>
