Tried the bath.. haven’t heard of the flannel thing, I’ll try that
Our little one was on day 4 without pooping. Our midwife said that as long as they’re passing gas to not worry unless it got to 7 days. We did a warm, wet cloth on his bum, tummy rubs, bicycle legs etc and none of it made a difference. We popped him in the bath and did a combo of those things while he was straining and 10 mins later he pooped!!
Is she formula fed? Mine started pooing less at 3wk and now going once every 1-2 days is normal for him!!
We were on day 3 today of no pooing and my health visitor told me to give my little girl some of the ready to feed formula rather than the powdered one to make up as it has some ingredients in that can help them go and she's now done 3 today🤣 not sure if your little one is BF or formula x

Update: We did some reflexology, and it worked! Massive poop within 5 minutes!!!
A midwife told me warm compress (like a warm Flannel she said) on their bum / warm bath sometimes makes them go x
