Mommies baby doesn't have a bowel movement , it's been 2 days 😭😭 what do I do ladies 1 week and 2 days old 🤷🏽♀️
@miamimommy17, I was too! But just the very tip and he really didn't seem to mind. And I could tell he was really relieved when he finally pooped.
It can be normal for breastfed babies to not have a bowel movement for a few days so I'd call and ask the doctor if you should even be concerned
Both , but mostly formula just gave him 2 oz of breastmilk though @mommytobe98,
When mine was that small the Dr said it was okay to go up to 4 days without pooping
Damn I'm so scared to put a thermometer up the rectum @whitneyp, I did the syrup this morning .
When my little one had the same problem, dr suggested a couple of things. Use a thermometer to stimulate his rectum. That can get the muscles moving. Also to put a tsp of lite kayro syrup in his bottle. Only does this once in a 24 hr period. I found the thermometer to work best. Used a little Vaseline to lubricate it.
@whitneyp, okay I'll try it later when my husband gets home
