Perfectly normal

Obviously check with your GP if you're worried, but my 3 month old sometimes goes two or three days without pooing (then does one almighty one!!!) He's also breastfed. My friend's baby who is on formula regularly waits 5 days Shock for a poo. I was told that a warm bath and a gentle tummy massage may help, but it doesn't work for DS, I just have to wait.

Oh, make sure you take a change of clothes with you everywhere! When that poo comes, it will come in style (and probably in the least convenient place!)

Go out for the morning, no nappies or change of clothes, miles away from nearest shop.... Guaranteed his bowels will open Grin

Perfectly normal; appears that by this age, supply and demand perfectly matched. DS1 managed a record 10 days without poo once (4.5m I think; had been going only every 4d or so), but when it came, we cleared the supermarket......(make sure you have a change of clothes for you as well...)

Normal in an EBF baby, some go 10 days.
