BF baby - how often for poos?

C has not had a bowel movement for 2 days now, he is nearly 6 weeks old. At first he went a few times a day then dropped to once daily. He is also on daily iron supplements and I was wondering if this could be the reason or when should be concerned about the lack of poo?! He seems to be straining a little. I've bathed him and massaged his belly to see if this encourages things.

Jude goes around 1-2 a week, possibly longer.  I'm not sure re the iron though

At 6 weeks, S started going anywhere up to 5/6 days between filling her nappy.  We get comedy grunts and groans when one is due.  Sounds very normal and hey, enjoy the lack of cleaning up!

Apparently up to 10 days is within the normal range.  Could well be the iron though, it has the same effect on me when I had it.  Did they not tell you about side effects when it was prescribed?

E would go up to 8 days. before this it was several times a day.

Thanks for replies, sounds like it could be normal then, H is chopping up pineapple for me as we speak! I seem to remember L was a once a day girl!!!

Pineapple??

H seems to think it will make my milk laxative like - I have no idea what book he read that in.

riiight.  Possible I suppose I like pineapple.
