I was told by a well-child health nurse that it is normal for a breastfed baby to hold their poo for up to 10 days. After 10 days, they are then classified as "constipated" and may need assistance!
Mine had 2-3 explosions every day in the mornings. And they were explosions too - change of clothes, bedding and even changes of clothes for me each time. Yick!
My little lad hadn't gone for 12 days when I saw the plunket nurse yesterday she wasn't happy and told me that if he hadn't gone by today that I had to go to the dr's.
She suggested giving gripe water as it helps with geting things moving. IT REALLY HELPS. Two huge explosions later he is back to being a very happy baby.
On a side note even with the two huge explosions my clothe nappies protected his clothes-very pleased.
