My 3weeks baby is always constipated,, and us breastfed?

Depends: Straining or irregular stooling does not mean constipation.The nb breast fed kid may go 7-10 days without a stool or poo a little at each meal.As long as it is soft I don't consider that constipation. If the kid is putting out dry rabbit pellets or stool bigger than your finger an ounce of full strength prune juice 1-3X/d can get them moving in a few days.
