Would you worry?

Sam, who is six weeks old, hasn't pooped in 48 hours.  Would you be concerned? 

Everything else seems normal, though he seems to be tooting ALOT.

Thanks!

    I think it's a quirk with BF babies.  I remember my pedi saying they can go up to a week (or maybe it was even 10 day?!) without pooping.  I think the longest Spencer would go was maybe 4-5 days, and then there'd be a HUGE blowout.  He actually did that quite often in the first 3-4 months (not pooping for 4-5 days).  I wouldn't worry about it just yet.

    I wouldn't worry yet.  As long as he doesn't seem uncomfortable then he's probably fine.  If he does start to seem uncomfortable then maybe help him by pumping his legs, etc.  J often went a couple of days in between poops and then, like S said he would have big blowouts.  Lucky us, huh??  ;)

    Gavin was pretty regular until he hit about 6 weeks.  Now he only poops once a week.  His Pedi said its fine as long as the color remains yellow.

    Right around six weeks was when C started going longer between poops and didn't poop everyday.  Like the other posters, when he does poop, it's usually a massive blowout.  I wouldn't be too concerned about it.

    Natalie was totally regular until about the 6 week mark...then she would go a week without going, She actually started going every week on the same day, which we named "poop day" and that lasted about 2 months...poor kid.
