My 1 month old hasnt pooped in 3 days

Question

my 1 month old daughter hasnt pooped in three days.. any one know ne tricks?

Answer 1

when my daughter was only a month old, she sometimes went almost a week without going number 2, but it's completly normal. As long as your baby is not constipated (not going for a few days then when they do it's a solid) there's not much you can do.

My pedia. told me that every baby has their own schedule and will go when they are good and ready for it. Don't get all worked up and worried, ok?

Good luck

Answer 2

let it be, babies have been known to go more than 5 days without a p**p as long as the baby isnt in pain, then just let your baby do its thing. This is a common thing for babies if they are breastfed because they use up all the nutrients in the milk they drink so they have less waste.

Answer 3

my daughter di that. They have these things for older children, they have an orange bulb and its a childrens laxative. It says not to use on infants, but i didnt use the whole thing. you'll understand when u see it, but have a diaper ready because it works fast!

Answer 4

Put a little Karo syrup in her bottle and shake it up really well.  Also, you could give her 1 ounce of white grape juice mixed with 1 ounce of water.  My son had the same problem.  This is what the doctor said to do.

Answer 5

RM had kinda the right idea - a liquid glycerin suppository (which is actually a baby e***a).  You can use it on infants, even at 1 month - just don't give her the whole bulb.  (That's why they used to call it Babylax).

You can also get infant size glycerine suppositories that you don't have to cut in half (1 gram dose).

Either of those is guaranteed to make her do a smelly in a few minutes!

Answer 6

Are you breastfeeding?  Breastfed babies sometimes go 5-7 days without pooping.  Breastmilk is completely absorbed at times.  

Formula fed can go a couple more days.  Watch for a tight tummy and straining.

Good luck
