Constipated? where is her poo?

[aramintalovegrove]

Esme usually dirties her nappy regularly, in fact sometimes I can change her then change her again she poops so much, but all of a sudden she has stopped and there have been no dirty nappies since wednesday

When do I start to worry? I know as they get to about 3 months (which she nearly is) they can settle down a bit but this is extreme, she is also being a pain to settle unless she is on the boob and is gnawing her hands/dummy.

Ive tried to give her some water and some freshly squeezed orange juice dilluted but she wont take either from a bottle so tried to put a little in her mouth with a cup and she just puked it back up in a dirty protest type fashion

Any ideas? ive mused constipation, teething but dont know when I should worry about the lack of poop, input to output ratio is very imballanced at the mo.

Its perfectly normal for a BF baby to go days between poos. I'd not worry she is constipated and give her OJ or anything else. Galen used to poo regularly every day then around 12 weeks stopped doing this and would go up to 5 or 6 days sometimes between poos. When he did finally go it was massive.

She sounds perfectly normal to me tbh.

Don't forget that there is very little waste in breast milk so baby often has little to come out the other end. Also her being restless and so on may be a growth spurt or the start of teething (but could just be the sort of teething that comes and goes and its months before you see an actual tooth).
