My 9 week old baby girl hasn't had a bowel motion since Wednesday and today is Monday, is that normal??

She used to go every day and she's a Breastfeed baby?

Yep, normal. Breastfed babies can go up to 5-7 days between poops. As long as there are plenty of wet nappies you should be fine.

Be prepared for the explosion poop though, I used to hate poop day with DD cause I'd get 5-6 in one day. She'd save them up for me the little sweetheart...

I have a bottle fed baby and she can poo everyday or save it for a couple or save it for a week and do a big one. Other times she poos twice in the day. My doctor told me unless its hard pellets then thats not considered constipation.
