my daughter hasn't sent poop since last night an I can tell she needs to go.. :/ she's very cranky an gassy she pushes until she turns red I rub her belly an give her a warm bath. nothing seems to work she's almost 3 weeks what should I do.
My LO dos the same thing around that time. I didn't do anything different he eventually had a bowel Movement on his own. His pediatrician that babies can go a few days without a bowel movement 😕
gripe water, or my 3 year olds pediatrician when she was a newborn told me to give her 2oz of watered down apple juice a day (my daughter would never poop) the natural sugars in the juice helped break down her stool so it could pass. but I would call and check with your doctor before doing that. apple juice is a LOT gentler on the stomach than olive oil or Karo syrup
May have to change the milk. My son was on Similac neosure and he kept having the same problem so I put him on Similac total comfort which is like gentle ease and the problem is resolved now
