another poop question, XP from BF

So, I know they say that breastfed babies may go several days or even a week without pooping. The thing is, DS has not done this before, so I'm wondering if this is something that happens at a particular age?
He is almost 5 months, gets BF when I am home and expressed BM in bottles while I am working. We recently introduced a tiny bit of solid, oatmeal mixed w/ BM, but really only to try it. He has about 1/8 cup or less, and not every day.
He hasn't pooped in 48 hours, which has never happened before. I am wondering about a growth spurt, b/c today he drank over 30 ounces in 12 hours.
Any thoughts?

Re: another poop question, XP from BF
Does he act constipated? Or just acting totally normal? If he's acting normal and doesn't seem in pain or straining I wouldn't worry.
