Baby Poop Q - Sorry if TMI!!

DS (almost 15 weeks) hasn't pooped since Monday...should I be concerned?

He just recently started drinking more breast milk per feeding and we introduced formula as well for one feeding. So I thought he might go more. But he dropped from 2-3 poops a day to just one a day maybe a week or so ago. He has never gone one, or TWO days without pooping. Is this normal? He's acting totally fine!

I've heard a Breast fed baby can go once a week and it's normal. They do poop less as they get older. As long as he doesnt seem in pain, I wouldnt worry!

I would call the doctor.
DD was EBF for 3 months and then when we introduced formula for one feeding to get her ready for when I went back to work, she became very backed up and had difficulty pooping -straining a lot and very thick - The doctor had us introduce a little prune juice each day and add an extra ounce of water to the formula bottles (example - 7ounces water with 3 scoops of formula)
I would just call for piece of mind

I read that as well. Its because the bm is almost totally absorbed. however id call the doc anyway.

ped told us that at that age, a baby can go 4-5 days w/out pooping.
if dc seems to be straining to go, ped said to add 1 oz of water 2x a day to bottles
