Lol that's how you check their temps anyway. That same method helps them do poopie lol. But either way....no need to worry just yet at 3 days.

It is not an issue until like a week for formula fed and up to 12 days for a breast fed baby. I'd just bicycle babies leg, rub stomach and for some reason tummy time always made my son poop lol

That sounds so uncomfortable but thanks lol @arivera64 @abeljames2015

Try some 100% apple juice and water together. Just an ounce of each. You can also take a q-tip dipped in Vaseline and gently stimulate baby's butt and that should help.

If you're breastfeeding and the baby doesn't seem uncomfortable then it's ok. If by day 5 to 8 still no BM then you can call the doc and ask what they think is the best method to use. Usually a thermometer with some vaseline up the butt will do the trick lol
