Hello It’s normal for breastfed babies to not poop every day. As long as your baby is active, feeding well, and passing gas, there is no need to worry. Most babies settle into a more regular pattern by 6–8 weeks. Breast milk is easily digested, and very little waste may be left to form stool. Some babies may poop after every feed; others only once every few days. It’s called “infantile stool withholding” and is usually harmless.
Next Steps
Continue exclusive breastfeeding — no water, no gripe water, no formula unless advised. Do gentle tummy massage and bicycle leg movements to relieve gas. Burp well after every feed. Monitor for wet diapers (at least 5–6/day)
Health Tips
Red flags: Forceful/frequent vomiting (especially green) Swollen or tight abdomen Baby is not feeding or very sleepy Blood in stools or passing hard pellets
