My baby girl is the exact same way and we ebf I drink coffee every morning too. In my experience with her and my son who I also ebf I think it's normal
Nyla sometimes skips a day or on the second day early in the morning she'll finally go. But she will b gassy. Is she in pain from not pooping? but everytime I give Nyla a lil babyfood she would finally go poo poo. I dont think coffee or hot spicy food has anything to do with her not poopin tho especially if thats what u normally eat u know. Its normally for her to skip a day without poopin by now.
@jnlelrod@BigBelly@HomeBirthAdvocate oh. thanks lol i was just thinking it wasn't normal because my mom n cousin who also bf said that she should poop almost after every feeding. hazel was like that only for the first two weeks.
@nylasmommy lol i know the second question was separate. i didn't think it was from the coffee or spicy food. but the LC did tell me it could be the milk i drank that was causing this. but i don't drink milk anymore. but i do eat things sometimes that can have some dairy in it. i try to avoid it tho. i wanted to know if the caffeine from coffee can affect her lol
@nylasmommy oh and idk if shes in pain but she starts to fuss if she reaches the second day without going... seems like she is having a had time to get it out or something.
My baby girl only has a bm every 4 days.. I ebf. I asked the doctor about it and jerin said its normal as long as the Poo isnt hard or hurts for them to go
@Myheartzx3 yea mine were the same way at first but when both of mine started getting older like 2+ months is when they would go a lot longer without pooping.
My lo in the early weeks did go after every feed but after a month it he went once a week and its completely normal. Hes seven months now and still only goes once or twice a week
@bahamamama4828 what did the dairy do to ur lo? They told me to stop drinking milk and see if it helps. I don't drink milk anymore but I do Use butter or a slice of cheese on my sandwiches sometimes...
Well it wasn't so much a constipation issue, she would get a rash and stiffen up and scream when I tried feeding her. So its almond/coconut milk no cheese nothing. And I LOVE cheese lol
I think its normal, my little guy sometimes goes 3 or 4 days without pooping. I eat whatever I love spicy an dairy. But I guess he doesnt seem bothered by not poopin.
@bahamamama4828 see I don't think she's allergic to the cow milk protein because she's never had any other symptoms besides not pooping. drinking milk and the two times I tried to start drinking she stopped poopIng. But now she still goes days without going...idk this confuses me but I love milk n dairy I miss it lol

In my case I had to cut dairy for that among other issues.
Also I've seen babies go up to 21 days without pooping and be totally OK.
And 21 days omg
So its almond/coconut milk no cheese nothing.
And I LOVE cheese lol
