Um...I have a poop question...

My friend's baby used to go once a week. I think she just threw the whole outfit out after it happened. She used sposies, though. I'm SURE she wouldn't have had such blowouts with a CLOTH diaper.

Hi mama, I wouldn't worry about it. Some babies only poop once a week. Ds was a once a week pooper. :LOL
I was so worried the first week it happened that I called the doctor, and he said it was totally normal. It started when my ds was about the same age, right after we started some solids and he was still mostly bf. Their little stomachs start transferring over from one kind of processing to another when they start solids...if that makes sense? (I know...I did a little too much research. )
I gave him prunes, and it just gave him gas. It was that way for a couple of months and he would be cranky on "poop" days. I also rubbed and massaged his little legs when I changed his diaper, and that always helped a ton. Now he eats three meals a day and poops at least once a day. He poops alot when I am changing his diaper, and I think it is because I used to massage him. :LOL He's all relaxed and programmed! :LOL
Anyway, I hope that helps.
How many times did I type poop?! :

ETA: It is better for them to go on their own without the use of prunes, etc. Unless it has been longer than 7 days, or they are obviously having a hard time trying to go.

I would only be concerned if he acted uncomfortable. When my son was an infant, he'd go 6-12 days b/t poops. He was exc. bfed at that point though. BUT if your ds isn't crying or trying to poop it should be just fine. Don't overdo the prunes and peaches and such if he's not actually acting constipated or you'll get the nastiest surprise when he does decide to go. :LOL

And if you really want him to go, just dress him in his nicest diaper and outfit, make plans and meet some people at a super nice restaurant OR go somewhere inconvenient with no wet wipes. Okay... not the best idea, but things like that always seems to make kids wanna poop.
