Breast fed baby poop pleas read if u have time

edited September 2011 in Babies
how often does ur baby poop? how old is ur baby? my 2 month old poops every three days. well she hasnt pooped since saturday, and i called the nrse hotline and basically got told she'll poop when she has two. every time she tries she starts screamin like she's in pain. she also said she can go a week without pooping. does anyone actually have a baby that only goes once a week? also she will poop like 2-3 times the third day.

  • hm if she is waiting to poop and then goes a few times when she finally does i would say that's not all that normal. i would make an appt with the doc and bypass the nurse. also, yes, it is true that 1 wk is ok for a breastfed baby to go without pooping. every baby is different. when i breastfed my first two they pooped all day long it felt like!

    I give my son probiotocs. He never goes more than 3 days w/ out pooping.
  • I had this same problem momma!! Even posted about it.baby shouldn't go more then a week without pooping. But breastfed babys sometimes don't have anything to pass through (poop) because they use it all up if that makes sense. My daughter poops one to two times a week and are usually explosive diapers ha. But its totally okay ;) just be aware of explosive diapers!
  • @Rissalee7 have you talked to doctor? My daughter usually gets fussier to before she poops. But doc checked her and felt no lumps in her tummy (backed up/stuck poop) which is good. Does she act like she's trying to poop like pushing and grunting? Look at her butt and see if she's trying to poop that's what my doc said to see if she's constipated
  • My two month old only poops once a week. And when she does, its still very soft. She grunts to push out her diarrhea. Lol.
  • Bath usually helps maddy I hop in with her n she kicks.away last her on her back seems to help alot
  • Twice a day and she's 3weeks
  • A little baby prune juice works wonderful :)
  • Mine poops every diaper, stinker but shes only a week old
  • A breastfed baby is supposed to poop everytime it eats. Baby should also eat every 2-3 hours. If baby isnt doing that call your pedi
  • Im girl, is a shiter!! She poops like 3 or 4 times!
  • @kritten_octoberbby breastfeed babies can go once a week its normal. all the docs that saw me at the hospital told me that before I was discharged
  • She poops every three day's she was a grunting when she was trying I used that apple prune juice got two poops @kritten_octoberbby my pediatrician said breast fed babies don't go that often cuz there's not much waste with breast milk

  • @FirstTimeMommyToBe ive never heard that with formula. I guess all doctors are different
  • @rissalee7 really? At the hospital when they give those classes by the nurses thats what she said.. idk then
  • All babies aren't the same (obviously) but geez why so many different answers from these doctors?
