My 4week old baby boy hasn't gone poo in 2days now. Should I call his pedi? I feel so bad for him all he's doing is crying I wish I could take away his pain
is he formula or breastfeed? breastfeed babies dont poop every day cause there is less waste but my dont told me that formula baby should poop at least twice a day
Or a suppository(sp). But my baby is breast and formula but more formula and he goes everyother day. He is 4wk mon. When i did more breast he pooped for every feeding because it was more watery. My pedi said a formula baby can go up to five days with no bowl movement. She also said unless its necessary dont assist because he needs to learn to go on his own..try gripe water to ease belly..
My bf baby wouldn't poop for days and cried all the time too. It was awful. The only way she poops is with rectal stimulation. Put a digital thermometer about an inch in and press down and hold. It took me a few times to figure out how to do it right because I was scared, but she poops! I tried miralax and karo and neither worked well.
Doctor told me to try apple juice or getting a cotton ball wet with warm water and pressing it to her rectum to stimulate the movement. Also moving her legs like she's riding a bike. Call ped if nothing for 3 days. Good luck!
