If she is having enough dirty diapers she is perfectly fine! Probably just a faze! Keep an eye on it and consult her doctor if it doesn't get better

that's just it she doesn't poop a lot lately time she pooped was the 31st but she pees a lot and Idk what to do I'm lost @mommy_faith

Is she breast bed or formula?

formula fed @mommy_faith
Faith·
Then she definitely should be pooping! She's probably so constipated that it's hard for her to eat. Have you given her anything for it?

prune juice but that doesn't seem to be helping but then again I haven't given her but a little bit like not even a spoon full cuz my doc told me not to give her anything other then formula until she's six months @mommy_faith

Don't do prune juice. How old? Massage her tummy and bicycle her legs

Try apple or pear juice it's a little more gentle on the belly but at 4 months she can have up to 4 ounces of juice a day for constipation (per pediatricians recommendation) but I think that is wayyy to much. My son is 6 months and I give him barley an ounce when he's constipated and it does the trick.

I'll have to try it cuz ever time I bring it up to her doctor he tells me that it's "normal" and not to worry so much @autumnsmomma125

If she's that constipated then a little juice will help her. Trust me I didn't like the idea of giving juice to a baby I thought it was ridiculous. But seeing him strain so hard to poop made me feel so bad. I tried the juice and it works for him without being to harsh on his belly!

Baby can't have juice at all until 2 per the AAP. Lay him on your knees face down. Offer less more often.

And baby can have p to 2 oz of waer in 24 hours a at 6 months

Every pediatrician says different about the juice than what you are saying. I rather give a little juice than see my baby in pain. She's not even 5 months yet which means she can't have water so that won't help her at all. I hope she feels better!

see that's what I'm saying cuz doing the exercises and stuff isn't working and I'm just at my wits end with her doc telling me it's normal for her to go weeks on end without pooping and when she does poop it's green @mommy_faith

Formula fed babies have more to poop out than breastfed babies, a week without popping is considered "okay" for babies. Over a week isn't good. She's really backed up! Try the juice today and it should work. You can also take a qtip and dip in it a little Vaseline and put the cotton part in her butt and gently swirl it around. A lot of women swear by that. It doesn't hurt them at all just helps relieve some pressure. I know it's weird but it's worth a try
