she hasn't pooed yet today...

uhhh okay this may be a really silly question, but Zinnia hasn't pooed yet today...she hasn't pooed since about 6pm last night and it's 2pm now so that's about 20 hours.  She usually poos twice each morning but yesterday she didn't until lunch time and today no poo.  Is this weird or normal?  She is exclusively BF, no solids, 4.5 months old.

It's very very normal for many BF babies.  Does she seem uncomfortable, thought?  She could have a bit of a bug, or it could be nothing - just a glitch!  :) Has she been nursing well, having lots of wet diapers, as usual?
If she starts to seem uncomfortable, do a warm bath, some tummy massage, bicycle the legs, and if you want, you could even do a rectal thermometer (the stimulation can cause them to poo, and they don't seem to mind - make sure you use vaseline, though).  But all that to say: it's normal.  :)

Yup normal

About 6 weeks ago Callie suddenly stopped going every day and went every 2/3 days - BIG ones so look out  ;)
