No BM for a few days...

in Babies: 3 - 6 Months

So, I'm not really too worried cause I know it can happen, but have your LOs had stretches of no BMs for a few days? DD has normally poo-ed 1-2 times a day, but just recently has gone to 1 per day, and she hasn't poo-ed well since Saturday night.... 

 I don't feel concerned because she's eating/wetting fine, isn't cranky, and her belly isn't too hard or bloated.

 What are your experiences with your little ones? 

 PS - She is EBF.

    My LO hasn't had that happen yet but for an EBF baby even a week is normal.

    This has happened to us with DS once or twice already.  After a few days we know to expect "Poopapalooza" with usually one "poop-splosion".  The first time it happened I checked to see if he was running a slight fever...apparently getting a r

    My LO is EBF and is a once a week pooper. She always has been. It is generally a "poopsplosion" as PP said. Her pedi wasn't concerned as long as her tummy isn't rock hard, she seems to be feeling ok and having wet diapers.

    So my LO isn't EBF, but she does only take breast milk.  Since we brought her home she has only had a bowel movement every 2-3 days.  Our gastroenterologist said that BF babies typically have less bowel movements than FF babies.  She did sa

    When we switched to formula our LO went from pooping 2-3 times per day to once per day. Then when we added in cereal, she now poops once every 2-3 days. Since it's still soft and mushy, we're not concerned. If they're constipated, their poops will be hard

    CJ is EBF and he has gone up to 6 days without. He normally goes 2-4 days between poops. My pedi says so long as he is acting normal, and the bms are soft when they come, that going up to a week is totally normal.

    my son went through this too, and sometimes he didn't seem to mind but other times he would have an upset tummy and gas.  I started giving him watered down apple juice (1/2 ounce of each) and it helps him a ton.  It has made him less gassy and h
