Dd2 is 5 wks old and exclusively bf. I bf dd1 until she self weaned at 14 months but struggled with ds. So far, so good. Bit jaundiced but settled and checked at hospital. Now feeding every 2-3 hours day and night and cluster feeding in evenings. Settles between feeds. Last weighed 1 wk ago and following centile line (75th). But bowels now not opened in >36 hours. I know this happens in bf babies but thought it was later than this. No bowel problems before and always perfect yellow bf poo since about day 4. Amount has been less in past week - about 2/3 a day. Should I worry?
Bf seems perfect - no pain or excessive engorgement. I think latch is good - certainly midwife and hv happy. No cracked nipples. Dd2 gulping away and enjoying her feeds. Still plenty if wet nappies.
