Lily is on to her 4th no poo day. Fully breastfed baby. Is this normal?
Joey was fully b/f but still did a poo at every nappy change?! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Completely normal. Sam ended up in a cycle of pooing once every 5-7 days when fully b/fed. Enjoy it while it lasts ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Yep its pretty normal for breastfeed babies to go a week or so without pooing - just gotta be prepared for when they do go!!  ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |

Totally normal. Quinn used to go 10 days, and Cohen goes 3-4. I always thought BF babies were more regular but not so. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Don't you remember my 10 day story Ana? Surely. I've ranted on about it enough.
Anyway, 10 days was the longest but it was usually around 7 days between poos for a few months. She was fine... just remember to be prepared for a giant explosion when little Lily does go! |

So only 5 mins ago I was worrying about the fact that Hannah hasn't poo'ed since 7 o'clock last night.
Just as I opened this thread I heard a MASSIVE exploding sound and a gurgle from the basinette. I'm too scared to take her nappy off.... ETA: I feel better knowing this is normal, thanks. I hope Lily poops soon

One girl on another forum had a bubba that went every 14-18 days until they started solids. They are usually very efficient at drawing everything out of the food as it passes through the digestive system, so while the poos are generally huge, they aren't 14 times as huge lol! -------------
