Irregular Bowel movement

Sent to Health Experts February 3 2007 at 10:24 AM
   

My pediatrician told me it was totally normal for breatfed babies to have infrequent and/or irregular bowel movements. He said that if her poop is soft when she does have one, she's ok...but I can't help but think that something is wrong. Today is day 8 without a bowel movement and I'm sure she is feeling uncomfortable. Her stomach looks ok (maybe a little bigger than usual) but I feel her being fussy (maybe its her teething... I don't know anymore!!)
Please tell me what are the symptoms that it is no longer ok...and what happens if she doesn't have a bowel movement after 10 days!!!
Thank you
