No formula.. forgot to put that in the post oops!🙈
They can go 6 days a week without going no concern I been told
@Kayleigh really!! Wow that’s a long time!!!!
My baby went 6 days without going , doctors wasn’t concerned unless it went 7-10 days , when she did go it was an explosion x
My baby hadn’t gone since Monday. I massaged her tail bone for about 10 mins and she had a poo about 30 minutes later!
It’s quite normal for them to not poo for up to about a week sometimes. My boy goes once every 3-4days (formula fed) I find that if he starts getting uncomfortable ready made formula cartons help him poo x
The GPs will tell you that they need to go a significant period of time (4 days i think it is) without pooing to be classed as constipated...I've found with both my LO's tho if they hadn't gone for 24 hours I could tell they were uncomfortable. Can't remember the exact measurements but a bit of brown sugar dissolved in cooled boiled water does the trick
Mine went 4 days once. It was a very very big poo when it came. Go to the doctor if nothing by the weekend
Thanks everybody! Xx
7 days is the cut off for concern. My 8 week old (exclusively breast fed) went 4-5 days without a bowel movement, then 6.. and has just gone 7 days. GP 6-8 week check that day said if no movement within 24 hours I’d need to go to a&e and was prescribed laxative. Warm bath and tummy massage with his knees slightly higher than hips did the trick that night with no medication needed thankfully I was also told by HV to up my fluids and calorie intake with foods like fruit and veg etc to help him go on the times before
is she breastfed? if so it's very normal, both my daughters have been like this xx
