Is it normal for my breastfed baby to go several days without pooping?

Yes, it is entirely normal for exclusively breastfed babies to go multiple days—sometimes even up to a week—without a bowel movement. This happens because breast milk is highly digestible, leaving very little waste. As long as your baby is passing urine regularly, seems content, and is meeting their weight and development goals, infrequent pooping is typically not a cause for concern.
