It's likely that she's just an effecient eater and is emptying the breast and satisfied in that time.  If she's gaining weight well and having plenty of wet diapers, I really wouldn't worry.   :D

Like Bethany said, she could be an efficient eater (or "super sucker" as I called my girls)  Here's a thread in the FAQs that has more info and may help reassure you:

I've got one of those efficient feeders, too.  I also worried a bit, as her older sister was a real lollygagger at this age, but Iris just down's the breast and that's it.  As long as your LO can go 2.5-3 hour between feeds and has plenty of wet and poopy diapers, you're doing just fine!

Hi..she feeds mostly every 2.5- 3 hours. I tried to do the 4 hours Easy transition for her..still working on it.  ??? it's so hard..

anyway, I've noticed that these past 3 days or so, my DD has not pooped yet..she pees fine though. her diaper is always full and heavy.
should I be worry?? or she just takes all of those BF nutrition down so there's no left over to be wasted ;)

Keep in mind that some babies will not make it to a 4 hour EASY.  There are some links in the Activty forum about transitioning to a 4hour EASY.

Here's a link to help with pooping concerns:

When our LO was exclusively breastfed he would only poop once a week.  It wasn't until we added solids that it increased.  Now I get three a day.  Enjoy your lack of poop while you can!  :)
