no poop?

my daughter is 6 months and has started solids (and loves them!), but is primarily breastfed still. she hasn't pooped in 2 days and i'm getting worried because she usually had 2-3 poops a day. is this normal? is there anything i should do to help make sure shes not constipated?
thanks for any advice!

If shes breastfeeding less it might be a reason for her to poop less.

Is her stomach hard? Is she fussy? Farting? I would call the doctor if she doesn't poop in a day or so...

her tummy isn't hard. she has been fussing a lot more at night and not sleeping the night through like she used to. and she's always been a very gassy baby.
i think i'll give my advice nurse a call in the morning just to be safe though.

If she's like 75+ % breastfed, it's probably normal. As long as she isn't in pain, her abdomen isn't distendes or hard, etc.

PS my guy once went ten days (but he doesn't get solids)
