Hi Elisabeth! The frequency is definately normal. At around two months many breastfed babies start pooping much less often, even less than once per day. It can be almost two weeks between bowel movments for breastfed babies at around 3 months old without anything being wrong! About the texture; you are quite right that seedy poop is the most common. However, if your baby is gaining weight, doesn't have colic and is overall healthy, I'd agree with the doctor - it is simply a normal baby poop variation. Bring a dirty diaper to the next check-up if you are uncertain, so that the doctor can evaluate it first hand. Good luck! /Paula

Hi...maybe someone can give me some feedback...I too have been quite concerned. My baby is 5 months old and used to poop every other day normally and right now is at 1 full week without pooping. She is exclusively breastfed and never had a bottle. But she has been grunting some and I can tell she is trying to have a bowel movement. She doesn't have pain. In the last few weeks her pooping has been very infrequent.
