Is it normal for babies to only poo every few days? The doctor said it can be but I'm just worried for my little one in…

A baby should poo atleast once a day

Boiled water should help with constipation but if he's suffering with trapped wind the infacol should ease it

@natzie86, was giving him infacol for a while and it helped with the wind but not the constipation. Will try it again though x

I've never heard of boiled water for trapped wind, have you tried infacol?

@natzie86,

That's what I thought too. It's neither hard or too soft but it looks normal it's just when he goes there's a lot of it and it hurts him to go because he was screaming yesterday while going. When he was finished there was a tiny bit that was a little watery. The doctor felt his tummy today and said it was fine but like I said, he went yesterday. She said it could be trapped wind so I've been advised to give him a couple ounces of water once a day so I'll see if it makes a difference in the next week. xx

I'd of thought going 4days for a tiny baby wouldn't be normal, maybe monitor for the next week and keep a record and take it to the gp if things don't improve. When he goes is it hard or soft or runny?

@natzie86, he's 3 weeks and 4 days

My baby when she was born used ti pooh every day or 3 or 4 times a dat now she is 4 weeks+3 days shw now poohs every other day some time it can be every 2 days.. it is worrying my mind isnt in peace until she poohs 😂@canteloupe24

How old is he?

He went loads yesterday then before that it was 2 days and before that it was 4 days. He has never gone everyday since he was born @natzie86

The least my baby has been is every third day and the most is daily. How long since your lo has pooped?
