A member asked:
Is it normal for a 5 month old breast fed baby to go five days without a stool?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It can: Some breast fed infants can poo a smear every feed or have one cradle filler once a week. Breast milk is so well designed it does not leave as much bulk for disposal as formulas or other foods.
