DS hasn't had a poop in 48 hours now. Usually it is around 3 times a day. He is EBF. Is this normal?

Is he acting normally ?
Its crazy but its actually normal for an EBF baby to go over a week without a poop as long as they aren't in pain
-
Totally normal. As long as it doesn't appear that they are in pain.
-
How old is he, and is he happy or acting normally, at least? Because BM is very nutritionally complete for little ones, their bodies tend to use up everything with little waste. It's not uncommon to go a whole between poops. My LO was on an every 8-10 day schedule for months.

DD is EBF too and she has gone a whole week without pooping! Don't worry, it's normal!
-
Thanks ladies. He is being his normal self. I figured this was ok, but thought I'd check.

Yep. My LO went about once a week when EBF, one time it was a good 13 days before he finally went. His doctor said as long as it didn't seem to be in pain, didn't have a fever, and was peeing normally, it was fine. Just be prepared for a blow-out!

We went nearly 3 weeks once...she never seemed bothered, and it wasn't hard at the end. Her system was just really efficient. She then went every 5 days or so, and now that we're on solids, it's every day, pretty much (unless bananas are on the menu).

Totally normal! Xander used to go after every feeding, then down to once a day, then only once a week! Now he's back up to multiple times a day, haha.
