advice needed
My little one has not had a bowel movement in 3 days, He is on expressed breast milk only, 4.5 months old . This is the first time he has not pooed usually poos 2-3 times a day, still has plenty of wet nappies and still feeding no other symptoms.
Is this normal or should i be making an appointment to get him checked out?

If he doesn’t have a hard tummy and no sign of constipation this is normal. Breastfed babies can go down to as little as one poo a week. Though all babies are different xx Doctors never get involved until it’s been over a week, so as long as baby is putting on weight and having plenty of wet nappies alongside then don’t worry at all❤️
Thank you ladies that’s reassuring.
My bf baby was pooping every day up until around 4 months. Then started going every other day, sometimes 4 days. The last time she went was 3 days ago so am expecting something tommorow! X

It’s normal. If he goes longer than 5 days reach out to the dr
