Judy K in Israel:  I don't know of certain foods mom is eating that will
make the baby poo,  but if a mom thinks something works, I encourage her.
First though, I try to reassure her that long intervals between poos is not
necessarily bad, as long as baby's happy.  My record in my practice is 14
days in an exclusively BF baby.  Any one else have a story to beat that?  I
had a time convincing the parents she was OK.  They wanted to see a
gastroenterologist (ha! just kidding--I felt like teasing Maryelle)...
