My super pooper is no more?

MelodyMoonstone

DS was EBF prior to starting solids about 3 weeks ago.  He used to poop multiple times a day.  Once we started solids, he dropped to -maybe- one a day.  Now, he hasn't gone since Tuesday.  He's not straining, he's farting fine.  We tried a sip of pear juice, prunes, a warm bath, taking his temperature... When do I the pedi and what are some other options?

Thanks!

I don't think I would worry about it unless he was constipated (i.e. straining, in pain, etc.)  DD has actually started pooping more since starting solids but before that she would go 3-4 days between poops with the longest stretch being 6 days.  When I asked pedi about it then he said no problem unless she is constipated.  But if in doubt, call your pedi to get their opinion.

My pedi told me plain old Milk of Magnesia was fine for baby, even every day if need be.  I have only needed to use it a few times but it certainly seems gentle.
