This is my first time on transmitting to Lactnet. I am a IBCLC in a public
health clinic for WIC. I have a baby 7 days old that has not had a BM for 4
days. The ARNPs are not concerned about this. The mother states she totally
breastfeeds. She has been taking her prenatal vitamins with another FE pills
suggested by the hospital. I suggested to mother to stop extra Fe pill and
she want happenings along with a high fiber diet for herself. I have not
heard of a baby so young not having several BMs per day. Has anyone else had
this problem?? What was the diagnosis?? Thanks, Bernadette Comstock
