My 7 week old baby hasn't been pooping for past 6 days. Her last poop blow out was 6 days ago. Thereafter, only very very minimal poop seen in her diaper. Mostly poop was found only around anus area and that's it. Should I be worried? She's breastfed and I'm a low yield mother who only pump out 1.5-2oz per session. I Breastfeed her and gives her once expressed breastmilk per day for fear that she might not Hv enough to drink from my breast.

mine ever went up to 9days without when fully bf. (earlier i was on mixed feeding then switch to full bf when i was able to) pd told me fully bf bb can go many days without poop as bb absorb everything in the bm. as long as bb is feeding well, sleeping well, pee-ing well & no bloated/hard tummy, then should be fine.
