My baby is going to be 1 month old in a few days. She has not been pooing for more than 48 hours, although I can see that she is trying. However, she has been eating and sleeping well. Confinement lady says it is normal cos I had taken lots of tonic and that as baby is taking breastmilk, she is following my heatiness. Regardless, I'm really worried. What can be wrong with her? Shall I take her to see doctor?

For breastfed baby don't be alarmed if your baby has a bowel movement only once a week. She is not constipated unless her stools are hard and dry. http://www.llli.org/faq/bm.html
