poop?

My LO is FF, eats 2-3.5oz every 3-4 hours and hasnt pooped since 9pm on Saturday? What should I do?

Our doc said after about 4 weeks, once every 3 days, or even once a week would be ok for Natalie, and she is BF. Not sure if that helps, but I think its the same for FF.

Also, they strain and turn red, but thats normal. Its their body and brain working together to figure out what muscles do the pooping and how much effort it should take. Natalie doesnt poop nearly as much now as she did the first couple weeks. But she still gets kinda fussy and strains when she has to go. HTH :)

 

give KyLiee more *HUGS*

  

 

Well I am with you...my LO is breastfed and poops about 4-5 times a day too.  She is also quite loud when she is pooping.  I actually stopped noting all her pees and poops weeks ago, because it was clear she was going more than enough.

So, now I'm left to worry, is it TOO MUCH???  Aggggghhh.

Thank you, blakesmuma, for my wonderful siggy!
