Poop Strike

So DS usually poops 1-2 times a day, well he hasn't pooped since yesterday morning. When should I be concerned? He is BF and receives 2-4 oz of formula a day.

  • His body may be adjusting to being able to digest food better or differently. I think usually pediatricians aren't concerned until they haven't for 3 days if that's not the norm for that particular baby.

  • Evie gets mostly breast milk, but about 4oz of formula three days a week at daycare...the longest she's gone is about three days. Just watch his behavior...if he seems more fussy or uncomfortable you may have a problem.

  • Paula switched to every other day about 2 weeks ago, and now the last time she went was Friday! She seems just fine so I'm only worried about the devastation that awaits us once she finally goes.

  • Until he was about 2 months old, DS pooped multiple times a day.  Since then, the frequency has decreased.  Lately he has been going once every 4-5 days.  He's not uncomfortable and still has loose stools.  As long as that doesn't change, I'm not concerned.
