What's the longest your infant has gone without pooping?
We're going on six days over here and it's unchartered territory for me! DS seems happy and content and I don't think he's constipated. But the anticipation of the coming poop-losion is making me nervous! 
DS1 was a clockwork 1x a day (if not more) pooper, even though they're both breastfed so this is def first-time ??? for me!

My friend's infant goes once every 5 days. I would be worried about the Poo-explosion too! He was happy though.

Whoah! Is this normal for older kids? My pediatrician said to call them if my babies don't poop in 3 days. They have come close but they usually poop right before the 3 day mark They are 3 months old.

9 days! I was in touch with my ped during this time, and finally on day 9, she had me come in for a glycerin suppository.
She was fine with a breastfed baby going up to 7 days, but after that she recommended I try pear or prune juice (4 oz per day) PLUS 4 oz water per day for two weeks until LO is more regular.
Unfortunately, LO hates juice and spits up wildly after it, so I'm not great at giving it. Therefore, she's still only pooping every 4 days or so. I also found "Constipation ease" by Bliss.

I don't remember exactly, but somewhere between 10 days and 2ish weeks. Consistently like that for about 2 months!

9 days was the longest she went. I called the lactation consultant on day 8 andshe said not to worry. She said if DD was in pain or went up to 12 days to take her to the dr but other than that there was nothing to do but wait!
