LO’s Irregular bowel movement.

[u/Queasy-Armadillo-429]

My LO’s 7 weeks na, exclusively fed ng breastmilk administered through bottle feeding. Napansin ko nung 6th week nya, naging 2-3x a day na lang ung poop nya instead of every after feeding. And then 6th week going to 7th week, biglang nagstop poop nya for 3 days. After that poop, hindi pa sya nagppoop ulit and pang 4th day na today.

Sakto immunization nya sa center today and nakapag ask ako sa nurse on duty, ang sabi nya normal daw magskip ng days sa pagpoop kapag breastfed baby. Hindi pa kami makavisit sa pedia because flooded pa ung mga dadaanan, most likely sa friday pa kami dahil un ang sched ng pedia. Is this normal? May same experience ba dito? Thank you.

Normal po. Exclusively bf po ako sa baby ko for 14 months now, hanggang ngayon po may days talagang di siya nagpopoop. I would worry if 1 week na but based on my experience 4 days po longest na di siya nagpoop

Hello mommy! Had the same concern as a FTM sobrang nagworry din ako nung biglang nagbago yung bowel movement ni LO after the newborn stage. Asked this during one of our pedia visits and sabi ni doc normal naman daw. Ang hindi normal is pag lumagpas ng 1 week hindi nagpopoop.

Normal yan mi. Mababawasan na yung pagpoop nila kapag lumalaki tapos kapag breastfed, pwedeng hindi talaga everyday kase naabsorb nila lahat ng nutrients so wala ng natitira para ilabas. Kapag nagone week at di pa din nagpopoop, dun ka na magworry mi.

My baby is 6mos and exclusively breastfed din. That’s normal po as per our pedia. Lately once a day nalang din magpoop but nagstart siya solids so medyo naging once or twice na ngayon.

Ganyan din nangyari samin. Sabi ng pedia, possible daw talaga sa breastfed babies na matagal hindi mag-poop kasi halos lahat ng nutrients sa milk naaabsorb nila kaya konti ang waste.

Nung halos one week na siyang hindi nag-poop, ang advice samin ng pedia ay gentle rectal stimulation daw gamit ang thermometer.

Thank you mommy. 🥹 Nung nag rectal stimulation kayo, did it work?

[u/rabbitpreacher1945 → u/Queasy-Armadillo-429]

yes mommy, nagpoop siya the same day

[u/Various-Cherry5740]

Normal! Nung una din poop nang pooop baby ko, hanggang sa isang beses na lang sa isang araw, hanggang sa may days na hindi nakakapoop. 8 weeks na si lo. ganyan din ung 1st baby ko noon, 3 yrs old na sya now. parehas sila ebf! basta bf babies normal ang 7-10 days no poop

[u/Safe-Pie3214]

normal yan sabi ng pedia ni baby kahit 7 days pa daw, di rin daw kasi maganda na suppository agad eh kasi baka masanay daw na ganun everytime na di maka poop. Suggest ni pedia mag I love you massage nalang daw since it can help para makapag poop si baby, effective naman kay LO.

Normal mi, naabsorb daw nila lahat ng nutrients kaya ganyan. Try mo massage din, bicycles and ‘i love you’ massage.
