Breastfed Baby not pooping since one day
Hi,My 4 month old baby boy has not pooped since yesterday morning and I'm really worried about that. He is taking only breastfeeding. He is active and passing urine for every 1 hr. He is taking breast feed actively. Let me know if this is normal. I'm really worried on this.

Hello.. the frequency of stools is extremely variable.. from none in a day to several times.. and the pattern keeps changing .. keeping track of the number of times utine is passed is good method to keep track of the baby's state of hydration.. and should be more than 4-5 times at least..
Next Steps
Regular feeding on demand
