We have  had this discussion before on Lactnet ......the 
consensus among the rest  of the 'Lactnet body' is that it is 
absolutely fine after the first  weeks.>>>>>



right and this is a great topic for an archive search as it has been  
discussed several times over the years so there is a wealth of info available  for 
review and backup as needed.
 
Normal babies who get more efficient with digestion of Brmilk, producing  
less daily "waste" and go days between BMs will usually then have a large  BM, a 
big messy "mudslide".
 
Some peds will have mom give baby a little rectal stim or suppository - For  
The Moms Sake - becuz she is so worried in spite of everything else being 
normal  including happily Bfdg baby, good UOP (urine output, including color) soft 
 tummy, etc.
 
If you search the LN archives well you may find a post from Jack Newman  
about a record breaking non-pooping normal baby - my recollection is that the  
record at his clinic at the time of that LN post was 23 days - check the  
archives for yourself and let us know if that is correct.
