In the book 'Babylove' by Robin Barker (a midwife) she says it's normal for babies who are soley breastfed to poo only once in a three week period. My child health nurse has also told our mother's group the same thing. As long as your baby is still having plenty of wet nappies and isn't in any discomfort there's no need to worry. Hope this helps.

Stacie,
Glad he finally went. Its amazing how much poo they can store up for such a little bubby. I found with my son if I gave him some cooled boiled water that helped if he was starting to get a little uncomfortable by it all.
Once you start solids be careful about feeding him too much rice cereal as it can make them constipated, and pain usually shows up in the early hours of the morning. I've found that pears helps my son if its been a while since a good flush of his system.
I too had only heard that 2 weeks can be the case for b/fed babies but nothing over. But then sometimes our little darlings are anything but text book babies.
After he went did he go a few times over the next few days? I know Liam did.
