My 10 month old tends to poo for a day or two at a time, once a week. This has been since weaning at 6 months. I contacted the health visitor at the end of Feb and she said this pattern could continue from when she was EBF as a younger baby (,she could go upto 2 weeks when EBF).
I moved her fully onto formula by around 7 month mark (averages 20 ounces per day) and the pattern continued.
However in recent weeks the stools have become bigger and she is in discomfort going. I contacted HV last week and they have spoken to GP (I have a telephone app on Wednesday). However I am now concerned I've let this go on way too long. She has always seemed well in herself, drinks loads of water, has varied diet, eats 3 x per day and is always hungry. I usually give her 2 - 3 packets of the smooth prunes per week.
I cannot tell if her stomach is too hard or not . I feel terrible and have spent this evening and previous evenings trailing Google looking for similar situations. Can anyone share their experience of similar with their baby at. I really hope her bowel is not permanently damaged.
