Question

Mine hadn’t pooped in 4 days. I put him in a. Warm bath and let him sit for 20 minutes while doing tummy massages and he finally pooped this morning

Is he breast fed or formula? it’s very normal for breast fed babies to go days or even up to a week with no bowel movements. Formula can bind babies up too, bicycles and maybe the Frida baby gas passer windi.

The car seat has worked wonders for me. If you have a baby bouncer that works too. It's my baby's poopy chair

Have you tried the “I love you” massage? That has really helped my son along with the exercises

I give my boy a ready to feed kendermil feed, and he does straight away maybe worth a try x

Hi! My son would go 4-5 days without pooping and we started him on a probiotic. We like the biogaia brand. He’s been on one since a newborn and very regular now!

Try the Frida windi if he’s in a lot of pain. I wouldn’t use it all the time but it was amazing for occasional support

i recommend the frida windy for when you can tell he’s in pain but do not rely on it or else he will only go when it is used. also if he is breastfed, i recommend taking a probiotic for yourself to pass through to him. with that, also avoid dairy and gluten as that tends to back them up. it’s “normal” for this to happen however it really shouldn’t, as it eventually causes them pain as you’re seeing. don’t stress! just try a few different things and see what works.

We had that same issue with our kiddo at that age. Even went to his pediatrician about it. They advised that every other day is normal. If it reaches 3 days, a warm bath can help. And worse case scenario, an oz of pure apple juice per month of age (in your case, just one oz) is helpful as well.

We also switched him from regular formula to the Enfamil Gentlease. And then switched to the Lactoferrin dark blue tub. It was more expensive, so that’s the other negative. BUT, it helped. I’ve also heard good things about kendamil formula but I’ve never used them for formula.

Similar to the windi - i tried our thermometer and it got it out immediately

My son went five days without pooping because of the formula he was on. As soon as we changed his formula, he went to the bathroom.

If my son was ever constipated, I would give him a foot rub. Your large intestine is located like on the pressure point on the bottom of your feet. And so I would look it up and I would give them a foot massage following the pattern and he would poop within the day.

My 8 year old when he was baby would go 3-5 days without pooping. That was his normal for a long time. One of my currently 3 month old twins struggles to poop has for the last couple of months. Switched her to enfamil gentlease to help with gas. Pediatrician recommended a 2oz bottle with 1oz apple juice and 1 Oz prune juice. They sell pack bottles in the baby food aisles at Target and Walmart. Works wonders for my little when she hasn't pooped in days or is struggling. And she struggles is badly to point of hollering and tears

Mommy bliss gripe water worked for my baby

And a thermometer but put Vaseline’s first and the gripe water

Gripe water

My daughter had cows milk sensitivity and once we switched to nutramigen it helped a lot but always keep the probiotics around because once they start solids the constipation comes back . The Frida baby windi didn’t help me I just completely changed her milk at that age and kept the biogio drops they also have lots of options for infant probiotics in target right now I would also recommend checking those out
