Constipated 1 month old who is breastfed, i need help!?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Are you sure?: Many parents think their breast fed baby is constipated because they no longer stool every day somewhere between 2 weeks and 1 month. This is because the body is now efficiently using that breast milk. As long as the stool your baby does have is soft, and your baby isn't in pain, your baby is not constipated and you should not worry. Breast fed babies can go days without stooling! Good luck!
