breast fed baby

My baby is pooping every 5 days, seems comfortable but may be kind of stinky by the 5th day(gas) My doctor says to give her juice to help with the BM but since she is breast fed she is not worried as long as it doesn't go more than a week. So far juice works great. I am just concerned that it is not just one time thing, she always holds it up for 5 days or so...Anybody's baby rarely poop?

Re: breast fed baby
Same here! We have a dirty diaper ever time she eats.
My pedi said not to worry if she starts to poop once a day or once a week, but nothing like that has come up.
I agree... no juice!!
I third this! I can't believe your Dr suggested juice! I'm assuming her stool is soft/loose when she does go, right? If so then there is no reason at all to give juice after 5 days!
my pedi said I can give her juice after 4 days
my question was to ask if any other babies poop this rare, the only answer i got was that every breast fed baby poops every feeding, and the longest a baby went was 2 days. So... does YOUR baby poop every 5 days? Anybody's baby poop every 5 days here on the boards? Doesn't seem to be, so statistically it doesn't appear to be normal. Don't tell me that my pedi is wrong for suggesting juice... she saw the baby and examined it and the baby was very uncomfortable, so she suggested juice and it works for us.
