My 3 month old baby hasn't defecated for two days now, is it normal given that I'm breastfeeding?

Infants may go through periods of constipation even while they are being breastfed. This has been linked to constipation in the mother. Zero bowel movements over 48 hours in an infant should prompt an intervention. What you can do is to use a glycerin suppository for infants. Make sure you cover it with Vaseline petroleum jelly before use in order to avoid injuring the anus. And if you happen to be constipated yourself, try using herbal medications that help promote bowel movement, and eat a lot of fibers plus drink a lot of water.
