Pooping

My little lady is a week old today. She didn’t do her first poo till she was 2 days old. Day 3 she pooped lots, all the meconium but hasn’t been since, that was on on Friday so we are now the start of day 4. Should I contact the midwife? Or hospital? She’s formula fed x

My little lady pooped for 2 days in hospital and then when we got home she didn’t poo until day 5. We did go to the doctors on day 3, they said to give it until day 5 to return and she pooped that morning. She went another 4 days after that with nothing and then finally went and nothing again. They did say it’s normal and she’s also formula fed! I’d give it until day 5 or 6 but they did say some babies poop once a week. They may need to clear her out or check for a blockage but please don’t worry as they said it’s really normal 🩷

I also did lots of tummy massages and pressure points on her for a couple of hours the night before she poo’d but that might be a coincidence x
