My 8 day old not lost a stool for 24 hours?

Hi my 8 day old (who has been losing stools a lot since birth) hasn't lost a stool for 24 hours. He is eating normally, weeing loads and not in discomfort as far as I can see. He had a urine and blood tests done the other day and they all come back fine.... I changed his milk yesterday so I think it could be that. Anyone had any similar experiences? Thank you in advance Smile

Formula or breast feeding?

I formula feed

It can vary loads in the early days. Usually as long as baby is still doing plenty of wet nappies, poops are less of a concern. Changing the milk may be contributing. Obviously if you’re worried just call the midwife. Congratulations OP x

Changing formula can constipate them a little bit so it could be that.

Yes speak to your midwife if at all worried.

If they're wetting nappies and seem otherwise comfortable I wouldn't worry. It's if they're showing signs of discomfort/straining/not peeing that I would start to worry.
