When to worry about poop...

amanda_wahl

My son who is ebf is 6wks old and going on day ten of no poop. Plenty of wet diapers and overall good mood, doesn't really show signs of discomfort besides his normal gas. I recall my other son going about a week without pooping but this seems crazy! I read it can be normal but when would you worry?

I'd call the doctor on the 9th or 10th day so your pedi can assess LO. Your LO seems to be fine but if not, Pedi might give baby laxatives or glycerin suppositories. Breast milk is a great laxative so laxatives and suppositories should be last resort. Just continue BFing. Poop will come
