  1. at that age its perfectly normal for them to go everyother day


  2. Mine did the same, every other day even. Just watch the constancy...if it starts to harden, have Karo syrup handy.

  3. I'd be rejoicing if I were you.


  4. Maybe you don't feed her that mcuh or when you feed her you feed her in one go straight away. Better to seperate her eating schedule

  5. Yes its normal. My daughter was the same when she was around that age. Its normal sweetie, there so little how much p**p can the p**p. Hehe Its normal no worries sweetie. Good luck and congratz on the lil one!

  6. If you are breast feeding then there is almost no chance she could be constipated and if you formula feed the just keep an eye on her for signs. Like turning red, straining etc. If she seems fine otherwise don't worry, its normal for babys to poo only every few days when they hit 4-6 weeks old.  

  7. SOUNDS NORMAL TO ME.  tHE LESS OFTEN THEY POO THE BIGGER THEY ARE, SO THANK HER FOR EACH ONE, THAT MEANS SHE'S NOT SAVING UP  MONSTER EXSPOSION FOR YOU

  8. It's normal. Mention it to the doc at her next visit.  If she's formula-fed, the iron might be making her constipated. Newborns usually poo all the time, but it's not uncommon for an older newborn to only have one bowel movement a day or even every other day. As long as she's happy don't worry.
