5 week old and poop...
poop question (I swear I should know better, but I guess I don't)-
What's normal length of time between poops for a 5 week old? DS hasn't pooped since last Saturday. Every day I beg for him to poop and he doesn't. Tons of gas, but no pooping. What am I doing wrong that keeps him from pooping? He's not getting formula anymore and he's eating when he's hungry and until he falls asleep which I wake him up, and feed him again until he falls asleep again then I let him sleep. I have introduced the pacifier because he'll just nurse all day long on the tip of my nipple when he's sleeping and it hurts and is annoying so I slip in the paci then.
So, how often does a 5 week old need to poop?
