A member asked:
My baby is 10 weeks old and can take even four days at most to poop.what could be the problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Infant stopping: It can be normal for breast fed babies to take up to a week to have a bowel movement. As long as the stool is soft, the baby is gaining appropriate weight, feeding well, and does not have recurrent fevers, bloody or mucous stools then this is okay.
