So my 1 month old hasn't pooped for almost 2 days but he isnt fussy or anything ive tried bicycle legs but it still hasnt worked just little strip of poo I dont see how hes not fussy what should I do?
Leave it babies poop can be very sporatic if its been over a week them worry, but if he's not fussy leave it. If he feels blocked up and is not eating take him in, but if he otherwise is fine don't worry about it.
If it happens again you could try a baby suppository or rectal stimulation with a rectal thermometer. Same thing happened to my daughter at the asame age. I took her to the pediatrician and he told me to try the suppository first. If that didn't work then take a thermometer and insert the tip and gently move it around. I remember being taught to do that in nursing school and it usually works. The suppository just seems less harsh Anyway, it worked. With in 5 minutes of inserting the suppository there was the poop and thankfully we never had to do it again:) I do think if I had waited it out she would have popped on her own. I was just an anxious ftm
