My son hasn't pooped since last Friday and I'm getting worried.. he has full dipar and is farting like crazy but no #2.. and I cant get into the pediatrician until June unless they have an opening before then.
I am breastfeeding him but he does get upset when he passes gas then he's fine. & it smells like he pooped but he still hasnt.. @queeneden
If he's breastfed, has a soft tummy, and isn't upset, it's perfectly normal.
put a little bit of water in it, not a lot, and put Vaseline on the dropper then insert it into the babies rectum like you would a thermometer, and squeeze the water out of the dropper. that should loosen him up and get things moving. also if you have apple juice, or pear juice which is more gentle on the stomach, dilute it like 1oz juice to 2oz water and give that him, the sugars break up the stool. but the water is almost instant relief for him.
They told me that the next available appt is in June for new patients since I'm on my own insurance now @jheyer1109
Did you tell them why you need to be seen? A bowl obstruction can be life or death. Not trying to freak you out, but tell them straight out what's up and you need him seen
you can try a suppository they sell them in a drug store they will help baby go poop.
sounds normal. they can go up to 14 days sometimes. If he's still peeing he should be fine.
