Baby poop

The day we brought Emily home (Monday) she had 5 bowel movements. The next two days she only had one at 6am, but they were big ones. I was expecting another huge one this morning, but she didn't have one at all yet today. I asked the ped. yesterday about only one a day and she said it's okay, that sicne she's having mostly breast milk now (she had a lot of formula in the hospital) she might have less bowel movements because there is less waste. However I'm just worried because she hasn't had one today and she seems a little fussier then usual today. It's not like she's crying a lot, just a little fussy, and she's farting a lot of stinky farts but still no poop.

Is this normal or do I need to do something? The ped. said if she goes 2 days then to call them, so tomorrow will be 2 days if nothing happens.

Re: Baby poop

As far as I know, it's normal. In the beginning, Christopher only had a bowel movement every other day. I would only be concerned if she goes a couple of days without going.

Re: Baby poop

Miranda skipped pooping yesterday then had 2 this morning. I wouldn't worry too much. I think babies are just irregular in this dept.
