My son hasn't pooped in 12 hours! He's 2 weeks & 3 days old. He's been drinking the similac pro-advance ready to use formula from the hospital. Before this his diapers have been very regular, he usually poops right after a feeding. We've already had 3 feedings & no poop. What should I do? Has this happened to anyone?
@ambermento, yes, my milk supply went down so I switched to the hospital formula 4 days ago. He hasn't had a problem pooping since then. He just pooped though, just now!! Almost 20 hours later, and it was a lot! And brown & very watery. Maybe he was constipated?? Either way, his dad was concerned & made an appointment for him tomorrow (:
I agree with @kydensmommy, it's normal! Especially with how young your baby is.
If it goes passed two days they can get pretty uncomfortable. Have you ever tried essential oils? dōTERRA has one called digest-zen that was a lifesaver for me and my babe when she was young and constipated ☺️ you just apply it diluted to their navel :)
Awesome :) great to be safe :) good job mama ☺️
