Linda comments,

<<  If a well-growing
 2-month old breastfeeding baby whose stools are once weekly and are the
normal
 breastfed consistency (soft/mushy/seedy/liquidy), this is NORMAL.  Breastfed
 babies of 6-8 weeks have been known to go 10-14 days between stools.  Tell
the
 mother to ignore the doctor's bad advice, continue to nurse the baby ad lib
 and enjoy the infrequent messy diapers. >>

And I understand the record for a normal, bf baby is once every 27 days.

Jan B., in Wheaton, where there was SNOW on the roofs today.  But, praise be,
whose 14 y/o son DID wear a light jacket to school.  Will wonders never cease?
