Suggest Remedy For Constipation In Breastfed Baby
My breastfed 27 day old baby has not had a stool for 3 days .Today (Friday, March 18, 2011) is the 4th day, she is not pooping yet. She last pooped on Monday, March 14,2011.The stool was huge and soft; the color of the stool was in between light green and yellow. She is urinating more than 15 times a day. The color of urine is light yellowish. She sometimes passes bad smelt gas. Normally she looks OK, but sometimes by looking at her movement, it seems to me that my baby is in pain. She is not getting sufficient milk.

Hi...I will tell you a simple fact to relieve your fear and make you more confident.
Exclusively breast fed babies can pass motion 10 times a day or 10 days once also.
If the baby is active otherwise and feeding well, you need not worry about it.
It is not painful for the baby...cry is the only more of expression for the sensation of motion for the baby.
