i would deffanatly call the doctor today!!!! My so did the same thing and my dr said that because they are suposed to have numerouse dirty diapers a day, not to let them go past 3 days. as they get older, they go less frequently. however, my son is 1 and still goes once a day. so now my dr says not to let it go past 5 days. If you are nursing, it could be something that you are eating. you pass all your food through the milk to your baby. so something you are eating might be upsetting her tummy. good luck!!!

i would speak to your dr., but isabella was breastfed and right at 8 or 9 weeks, she went from pooping every time she ate, to every 2-3 days, finally to once a week...worried me sick...we counted pee diapers to make sure she wasnt dehydrated (6-7 per day is good) and just made sure she was eating well...she lasted like this for about 7 months, then started going everyday again out of the blue...from what i read on La Leche League .com it is fairly common with bf babies
good luck

Look my son did the same thing...not going for a few days...it's totally normal to me and alot of other people. I've never been an everyday person. Neither is his uncle. Nothing is wrong with us. He's two just this month and is still the same with his popping schedual.
