EBF baby having trouble pooping
My little girl is 3 weeks old tomorrow and since she’s been born, she has pooped every day MULTIPLE times a day like clockwork. We were going through a lot of nappies it was so often 😂 and now suddenly over the last 3 days she’s going like over 24 hours without a poo and then having a massive poonami.
I don’t know what’s happening but I hate to think of her in discomfort 😭😭

It’s completely normal for an EBF baby to go up to 14 days without pooping. From 3-7 months my girls would go every 11ish days.
No sorry, it is NOT usually normal to not poo every day for an EBF baby under 6 weeks. If it’s only a few days, I might not worry too much. But if it continues, I would seek help from a lactation consultant as it might mean baby is not getting enough milk https://www.instagram.com/p/DHEZQwlNLvI/?igsh=cW11eGhxbmxibmh6 https://www.instagram.com/p/DA1LUpiNEpd/?igsh=OW5vZnB0ZTI3ZnVs

That is completely normal for a breastfed baby. It's actually normal to go up to a week without pooping. As long as the poop is not hard pebbles, and still is loose and seedy baby is fine. She's not constipated or anything. My little girl likes to have poo-splosions every 3-6 days.
