The longest record for my kids previously when I total bf was abt 7-9 days. When u poo, you are passing out all waste that is not absorbed by the body. So, take it that your bb is absorbing all the good nutrients and there are no waste, therefore no poo. ancing_wub:

Dun worry, its ok ... My DS2 (4mths), he used to shit a few times a day now there is a change. His longest record was 5 days, when he finally poo, the happiness in me is like I have just strike a lottery

Now he poo every 2 to 3 days.

my boy, who used to poo 2-3 daily, started to poo 2-3 days from 2+ mths onwards. His longest record was 4 days and he was getting irritable and crying (but tummy not distended) so i had to bring him to NUH Children's Emergency for them to insert a suppository in his anus. And after 10 mins, lots of poo came out!! But we were both so happy to see his poo! it was as if we saw gold!

So watch his mood lah... if he is irritable, then get some medicine from the PD to induce poo. And be warned that it will be A LOT of poo when it comes out!

Hey ... you have absolutely no worries, just like what the PD told you.

First of all, your boy is 100% on BM ... which is most easily digested & absorbed in your boy's system.
Second of all, the fact that there is no bloating ... this just means there is no waste materials in his colon, that has to be pushed out in the form of shit (as we know it).

:biggrin: :biggrin:

my 3 mth old girl on total EBM poo abt once a wk, longest record was 10 days! Each time is one big truckload of poo! I have the suppository from PD to stand by, advised 10 days is the max so till now never used on her before. Ya BF babies tend to go on longer without poo, so dun worry!

Hi,

I remembered the record my eldest gal set was 10days. :red:
She was on total BF & my SIL reassured me that it's ok & if she doesn't poo by the 14th day, then I shld bring her to the doc.
My mum would always tell me that I dun hv enough milk for her that's why she don't hv poo. :wong13:

But looking back at my gal's bb photos, she definitely looked more chubby than my 2nd bb gal. Probably all nutrients were absorbed into the body...hahaha!

Somehow, we parents juz can't stand our children not pooing everyday. Well, as long as my gal is happy & healthy...I told myself nt to kick a big fuss over it.
