BF moms - poop question

DS has been a every other day pooper most of the time, well he went the last 4 days with nothing until this morning. I've noticed it once before but today it was really thick, much thicker than usual and he's been a bit fussier than usual. He's only on breastmilk, never had anything but... we're going to start solids here in a few weeks, but now I'm wondering if I should be trying to get him to eat some prunes or something? Any suggestions? Or is this normal as their digestive system develops?

    I dont know if this helps but ds was ebf but he was an every day pooper. We started rice cereal and fruit but i didnt really notice a change in his poop right away. Eventually his poop got much darker and thicker. We tried oatmeal and I did have to add prunes because he would go 2 - 4 days without pooping. The prunes got him back to every day. I don't know if it was from the food or because of his age that there was a change in his poop. Hope this was helpful.
