Bowel movement

(Msian Nursing Mom website at http://www.geocities.com/msian_nursing_mom)

Question?

My Nina now is nursing fully, but it's been 3 days since she's moved her
bowels. Is this something I should be worried about? I'm thinking of taking
her to see my paed if she doesn't do anything today. How long can a baby go
without doing it? (Yat)

Bowel - If Nina is not straining or looks uncomfortable, just sit and wait.  You will be 'rewarded' with a big one soon.  Matthew also satu macam -   sometimes poo about 7-9 times per day, then suddenly 3 days pun tak lepas.  All the moo-mies here will chorus - this is normal! if you are bfg her.

Not to worry! It's normal for exclusively BFG babies do not pass the bowel
very often. This is due to our super duper milk is almost 100% absorbed as
nutrition by their body, thus not so much to be passed.  At one time Wafiq
(when he was 3 mths) did not do 'bisnes' for almost 10 days.  Just minutes
away before we went to see a paed, he gave us a surprise with long overdue
bullet! (Fiz)

There's nothing to worry about. Joe Yue, now 3.5 months old, has been
having bowel movement (since he turned 3 months)every 4 - 5 days. At
first, I was worried like you too but after that I realised that it
was normal. His paed said that there's even a record of 11 days! As
long as the poo-poo is not hard and pellet-like and your baby is not
crying, it's perfectly fine. (Christine)
