Combi fed baby poo….

How often are you combi fed babies going for a poo? My LG has 200ml of formula a day across 2 bottles and is breastfed the rest of the time. We’re on Day 7 of no poo (has been the odd poopy mark in her nappies). Doesn’t seem uncomfortable and tummy is soft. Is passing gas and feeding as normal.

Morning, I'd say for our baby girl she goes once or twice a day, we do 2 bottles a day, one when we are out if I'm not comfortable breastfeeding and one in the night x

My breastfed baby was going every 5 days but has reduced down to 3 now. HV said it can be up to 10 days. If you are worried give the GP a call.

Sorry I have no advice but Can I ask when you combo feed, do you pump when you give the bottle? Because my baby had a bottle once and my breasts were so hard when I didn’t feed her as she had the bottle x

We combonfeed, c. 50:50 formula and breast. My boy is 10w and he regularly poops once a day; always in the morning.

@Natalie Yeah - when she has a bottle I pump. Building up a stash of milk in the freezer for when I leave her at any point in the future. And use some of the expressed milk in her bottles x

@Natalie Yeah, I’d heard the same thing about breastfed babies…..it’s just as she has some formula every day, I wasn’t sure how that affects things. Waiting on a call from the GP to discuss things x

3-4 days combi fed. My health visitors and gp also said the same no concern unless 10 days and apparently isn’t constipated. My son gets really uncomfy come day 4 though.
