    Hi there my son is 11 & 1/2 weeks old & i am breast feeding him. He normally does 2-4 poos a day. But Thursday he didn't do one all day so in the evening i gave his belly a massage & 15 mins later he filled he nappy. yesterday (Friday) he didn't go at all & now today he still hasn't been! He's bright & happy & not straining. I read that breast fed babies can go up to a week with out pooing. But wondered if this is normal or should i be worried?
    Thanks
    Katie

    I had the same thing with Paige when i breast fed her, she would normally do 3 or 4 a day and then not go for a day or two then i start giving her boiled cooled water which helped her go and now she loves water.
    I would keep doing the belly rubs and try giving boiled cooled water to drink and do a cycling motion with his legs, for some reason that always helped Paige too

    my HV told me that i'm not to be suprised if evie goes a long time without pooing. she said sometimes they dont go for a week, and it's because they're having a little growth spurt, storing all the milk up and taking the nutrients out of it which is why it isn't expelled from the body quickly! don't be too concerned xx
