Hi all my little girl is a month old today. She is combination fed,
Has not been pooing as much. Sometimes can go 2 days without pooing.
Has been drinking plenty and having plenty of wet nappies.
Any advice on this? Is it worth highlighting to Gp or health visitor for some advice?
Thanks in advance 🙂

My girlie is the same and is 4 weeks old tomorrow and I combi feed her. I give her a bottle of breast milk only every evening and she goes shortly after x

I would focus on her symptoms instead of how many days shes not pooping. Does she sleep well and does it look like shes straining to poop but nothing comes out. It would be constipation if shes trying to poop but cries and nothing comes out or cries alot from pain. when she poops is it soft and mushy or hard. Some children dont poop everyday my toddler doesn't poop everyday

Definitely worth asking the pediatrician because they can check her stomach and feel for any hard stool

Has she been restless with it? My little girl is 4 weeks and the other day we could not get her to settle just screaming crying, she hadn’t pooped in like 2 days. Bought the Frida baby gas passer, was reluctant to use it at first but she filled 3 nappies within 20 minutes 🙈 but she’s not pooed again all day today but she seems fine… if she seems in distress deffo buy that frida baby gas passer it really does clear them out

I was always advised by health visitor that the GP wouldn’t do anything until it had been approx 7 days without a poo, unless he was really uncomfortable and showing symptoms of it 😩
