Lack of bowel movements at 8 weeks...

My breastfed 8 week old baby pooed in every nappy until a week ago and then for 3 days did just one per day. Now it is 4 days since she did any poo at all. Should I be worried?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

See this thread. I wouldn't worry!

No, it's pretty normal for exclusively breastfed babies to space out their poos at around this age -- some won't go for ten days or more at a time (although it tends to be very explosive when they do eventually go).

(Sadly for me DS continued to be a several-times-a-day boy)

No dont be worried ! they dont poo as much at this age because as it's a breastfed baby, almost everything in your milk so no need to eliminate so much !! My DD is 10 weeks old and she's also fully breastfed and dont poo as much, I enjoy these poofree day

My bf dd2 did exactly the same but at 6 weeks. Since then she pooed about 2-3 times a week til I started to wean her.

I wouldnt worry and agree about being happy not to have to change pooey nappies. DS1 did it after every feed plus afew more just to keep me on my toes!
