He's 5 weeks now but since his poos became yellow in the first week he has only ever pooed every other day.
He has plenty of wet nappies and is putting on good weight, following 75th centile (although not been weighed since 2/3 weeks but I can tell he's getting heavier and I did attempt to weigh on home scales which, although inaccurate, showed definite weight gain.)
Anyway the HV said there was nothing wrong with that but have since read on various sites that infrequent poos in breastfed babies is only normal after the 6 week mark and before then it really should be several times a day. Should I be worried? Can't get to HV til next week and am worrying now!
