My girl is almost 9 mos and gets a bit (1/3 - 1/2 a jar based on her interest in it) of organic pureed food in the evening but is mostly all BF.

We're on day 5 of no poop!!! I've changed to prunes the past few eves in hope that would help but still NO POOP!

Any recommendations?

Should I worry?

Previously 4 days was the most we've gone (and occasionally every other day poops but usually she's an every day'er) Our holistic pediatrican wasn't too worried when we went 4 days and suggested the prunes...but now we're at 5 days - EEK! Would it be better to do boobie only and no puree at all?

Before starting solids my little guys would go quite a while between bms (I think 2 weeks was the record) and our ped told us not to worry about it, as there isn't really much waste with breastmilk. We introduced solids very slowly, and his bms have very slowly gotten closer together, still a big one every few days. I personally wouldn't worry about 5 days if your babe isn't acting really uncomfortable, fussing, straining, or anything abnormal. That's my experience. Hope that helps!

my baby went 7 days without a bm and i took her to the dr they said bfed babies can go up to 10 days with no bm...i think i was more worried about her pooping then she was..she wasnt fussy at all...lol!

We haven't started solids yet, nut my bf babe will go at least a week and up to 2.5 weeks between.
