 Topic: How long did you breastfed baby...
Posted: 22 April 2007 at 10:07pm |
... go without doing a poo??
Josh is now up to day 10 without going. He is farting (pops all the time) and doing really smelly ones so I know everything is still working in there. I know it is common for BF babies to go days without a poo but 10 days???

My DP told me that some babies can go two weeks without poohing. I have no idea where he heard it or how he knows it as he has no kids of his own bar the unborn one kicking me in the bladder. But then, he is a Virgo male therefore he knows something about everything and nothing he says could possibly be untrue.

Eomachine, it's true! Apparently breast milk is so "perfect" for babies that they use almost everything in it and it can take them ages to get enough waste material to make a proper poop. Emma Rose never went more than about a week without doing a big, nasty, grotty poop, but my mate's baby has gone 10 days. With all the smelly wind Josh is having, Mummy_becks, it sounds like he is gearing up for a really big one. The only problem is, when the big one does eventually come, it might be a major explosion! Be prepared...

My Mum told me when she was Karitane nursing she once had a baby go 2 weeks without a poo, but then when he went, boy did he go!!
Unfortunately both of my breastfed babies have been major poopers, averaging 3-5 per day!

I remember when Arna was little that I ended up taking her to the hospital cause she went 15 days without one and even my midwife was worried!! But when they go the keep going and going until the nappy is overflowing!! (Arna pooped all over the cot in the hospital  )
I wouldn't worry too much Bex unless he starts to get a sore stomach. Hopefully he's done the good deed now?

My MW told me that the longest she had ever experienced was 19 days and the bubba was fine. Feel sorry for whoever changed the nappy on day 19 though

My midwifes one baby use to go every day. Her next one every 21 days. Just as long as there is enough wee ones and when they go it is not hard or pellet like it is totally fine.

James would go every 7-10days when he went it would be about 3 times in that day, now that he is one solids it's back to every day.
Yes be prepared as it's not pretty and if your going out take a change of clothes and lots wipes because it goes everywhere.

Well I think we will stay at home (have a lot of tidying to do after the busy weekend we have had) until it comes out then. He was a every nappy change and I was happy with that but now nothing and now day 11. Lena I remember that with Arna, Jax told me all about it.

12 days and he exploded and I wasn't at home!!!!!
I went out to pick Andrew up from preschool (DH had come home early from work) and Josh spent 10 minutes grunting and then exploded. DH said it filled his nappy but didn't leak.

Hey CaraMel,
What was your Mums name as a karitane Nurse and where she did she train.,
I am an ex kartiane trained at Auckland and we are having a reunion later this year maybe you could let her know if she trained there that under the old friends website there is a place for people who trained at Auckland Karitane Hospital to enter the names on the membership list.

heheheehehe Hannah went through a period of a couple of months only going once every week. Luckily her longest period was only 10 days (I think) but geepers creepers... I honestly don't know how much poo can fit inside one small child. It really amazes me!
