A member asked:
My 4 month baby did not poop for the past 2 days is that normal? she is breastfed only
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal: Many breastfed infants will go days in between stools as they are able to digest that wonderful breast milk so completely that they don't have a lot of leftover to make lots of stool. If your baby's poops are soft/runny when she does have them, you have absolutely nothing to worry about. Keep up the great feeding routine!
