A member asked:

My baby, born on monday, has not pooped since tuesday. i must say that my breast milk only started coming in on thursday morning and i have been supplementing with enfamil formula since then. he seems happy though and feeds well. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not unusual: It is important to have that 1st poop as that verifies that the system is open. After that a breast fed infant may poop a small smear every feed or fill a cradle once a week. Formula kids usually poop more. If it is soft when they go it is not constipation. If he's feeding well he sounds normal.
