Random decrease in poop??

desabean

I'm not sure we're to the point where I would call this constipation but Garrison is certainly experiencing a decrease in her pooping routine.  Up until about a month ago she was going about 4-5 times a day and for the past month she has gone at least twice a day religiously. As of today she hasn't gone since Friday morning.  Should I be concerned?  She hasn't had anything different during that time (no formula or solids).  She doesn't seem uncomfortable (I don't think anyway)....so do I just let it go for a little while?  How long?  Any other suggestions in the meantime to um, help her out?

I wouldnt' worry quite yet, by about 6 months my EBF dd was only going every 2-3 days and would skip the weekends too.  I was pretty sure that she was doing it so that I would have to change all the dirty ones and dh got off scott free, but who knows.  If she goes 4-5 days I might get concerned.

I was actually just reading that once BF babies lose the reflex that makes them poop whenever they eat, that they'll dramatically reduce their poops. It said even 1xweek is normal. I'd check in with the pedi, but I wouldn't do anything for constipation at this point.
