You will miss the "one a week" days. I think the rice is quite binding so
maybe 3 days is not too long..... how old is Audrey?
DD (13.5 mo) has about 5 bf a day, solids 3 times a day (DH is just feeding
her a vegemite and cheese sandwich for lunch) and poos 3 times a day not
long after each meal.... and boy! the sweet smelling days of bm poos are
long gone.

She's 6 months old. Still no poo, she started Tues night, it's Sat evening
now. Ah golly gosh, should I stop feeding her solids until she does one? Is
it still ok for a mostly breastfed baby to go that long?

Thanks,

Leah

If it'd make you feel better, hold off til she poops and see what it looks
like in terms of consistency. Probably things are fine. But if it's
constipating her, there's no need to give rice. If you want to give a cereal
there are other grains, like barley, that aren't so binding.

She blessed me during nappy free time this morning lol. It seemed fine, so
I think she's just keeping up her prior routine. I might try some barley
anyway, I want to avoid wheat for the first 12 months, and want to use a
wide variety of grains.

So goodbye, sweet breastmilk poos. LOL.

Cheers,

Leah
