Just had to add: Several years ago, I had a mother in my LLL group whose
big, fat, happy baby only stooled once every THREE weeks. When he went,
he really went! I have noticed that the babies I know of who have long
intervals between BM's are often very large for age, and almost
roly-poly. Of course, we are talking babies who are over 3 mos of age....
