Poop Question

[beezle-weezle]

Baby Lennie has always been a good pooper. She usually goes a lot at every feeding. Yesterday and today she is only wanting to poop every other feeding. (note: poop is normal color and consistency) Nothing has changed in her diet and she is eating 6% her body weight. I know her not pooping is not from my lack of trying as I have spent 45 min after each feeding trying to get her to go. Is it ok for her to poop every other feeding or is something wrong?

Nothing to worry about as long as she is pooping:grin2

Some babies never skip a poop, and others do once or twice per day. I have this same issue right now with my two boys, 2 wks and 3 wks old: both of them skip a poop at least once a day. Because I had such an issue with formula and lost a baby to bloat this season, any poop-skipping puts me on red alert. However, as lilidukes said, it is normal and as long as the baby IS pooping it's ok.

I agree with the others I dont worry if the poops are normal, they are well hydrated and
pooping at least a few time a day. It sounds like you little one is doing fine. (:
