Baby with Bowel Movements Less than Once a Week...
My baby boy is 7 1/2 months old, primarily breastfed who has a bowel movement once a week if we're lucky. He doesn't seem bothered by it until about a week goes by and then he gets fussy and gassy. I've resorted to warm water enemas and even suppositories. His doc seems to think that this is normal for some breastfed babies. I wonder though. He was hospitalized at birth for fluid in his lungs with resultant antibiotic treatment. Could this be a lack of necessary probiotics in his intestines? Any thoughts?
