Answer 1

As often as they eat.. I don't get this question?

Answer 2

LOL You really just asked "how often should my child p**p?" WOW. anyway he should p**p occasionaly

Answer 3

Prune juice. I hope this helps! If not, then wait for the docter. Also, don't be too worried - he will be fine.

Answer 4

Two days without a bowel motion is still considered normal, in particular if your boy looks well and happy at the same time.  

If you suspect he might have some tummy pain, you can try a little prune juice mixed with water and see if it helps.

Answer 5

its normal for infants not to p**p everyday. dont worry sweety and since he is only 2 months old im not 100% on what you should give him just wait it out or a method i used was baby massage on his stomach( go in a clockwise motion in little circular movements starting at the top of his belly button. good luck  

Answer 6

He really should be pooping at least every other day but my daughter sometimes will wait a day or two, but if you are worried feed the belly and make sure it is not hard. If it is hard then call the doctor also if he looks like he is trying to go and cant call the doctor, or if you are just too worried call the doctor. You can never call to much, that is what the doctors and nurses  are there for. No question is dumb so ask away :) Hope everything ends up ok! Just relax and if you are too worried call a doctor they will know best for you and the baby.

Answer 7

He should be having a bowel movement at least every other day.  Is he straining when trying to have a bowel movement (gets red faced, cries)?  If so he may be constipated.  You can put just one or two drops of Keopactate in is bottle in order for him to be able to have a bowel movement more easily.  I did this with my son at that age.  He was colicky and would have terrible gas pains and not be able to have a smooth bowel movement and that is what the doctor recommended.

Answer 8

It depends on how frequently you feed him.  Obviously since you have starved him for three days, he's not going to p**p. Jk.

LOL.

Chill out.  Your kid is fine.  He'll p**p eventually.  He's probably just constipated.  Give him a warm bath.  Or a teaspoon of Karo syrup.  Give him enough fiber in his diet.  And increase fluid intake.

Also, lay him on his back and cycle his legs it will get his intestines to loosen up and should aid in allowing the bowel movement.

Answer 9

A regular baby is once to twice a day. Sometimes more it depends on the baby. No prune juice you can't give him anything orally but if he seems constipated you can use baby suppositories to stimulate the r****m to move the p**p thru. Take a suppository do not insert it all the way. Hold the tip of it and insert about a half inch of it. don't let go (it could do damage inside of him) do this for about three to five minutes and in the next twenty minutes he should p**p. Both my boys had this problem around the first two months. Good luck
