3 mos old & pooping

I dont think shes pooped in the past 2 days. I know 1 day for sure. Should I be concerned? I thought she had been pooping once a day lately but nothing yesterday.

Shes been eating like normal but when i googled it, it seems to be normal to only happen once every few days ...???

Usually BF babies poop every day. Can be different for formula fed babies, but I'd still think they should poop atleast once every 2 days or so.

DD #1 pooped after every feeding until 3-4 months and sudenly started going only once a week. IF DC sems uncomfortable, S/he may be constipated. Otherwise, don't worry about it. DD #2 will be 3 months this week and she poops once a day for the most part but skips a day from time to time. Both EBF.

My LO is 9 weeks old and we just had this discussion with his physician yesterday morning! She told us that some babies (and ours is a FF) to only go every 2 days or so. She said it is normal as long as "when they go" it is soft/runny. If she starts having hard stools, that is when it needs attention.

My DD is on BM and since about 3 weeks old has been pooping once every 2 or 3 days. Our pedi said that some babies only go 2 or 3 times a week and as long as they are not uncomfortable, its fine.
