Breastmilk and Baby Poop

[pdiannet]

My daughter is 6 mo old (sorry I don't know all the short symbols for saying this). She poops about twice a week and every time it is sparce and super thick. She really strains to get it out. She is a hefty girl and happy, other than teething her sixth tooth. So, I am wondering if this is ok. Should I be drinking more water or is my breastmilk really high in fat?

Hi and welcome to MDC!

I am presuming that you haven't started your dd on solids yet. If this is the case then this can be fairly normal for a wee one, it just means that your milk is so good that she uses all of it up and there's no 'waste' - you're doing a great job, keep nursing.
