Or Metamucil. My 6 yr old was rushed to ER with possible appendicitis. After a contrast IMR they realized it was stool build up. So Metamucil was his answer. Even at CVS said it's used for even younger kids.

Most pediatricians or er wait until a baby doesn't poop for 3 days before they do anything...try a warm bath for her and put her legs in a bicycle motion each leg might help her poop..she's a newborn don't wait long to take her to er or dr

@sherrynygirl, I tried the bicycle motion and didn't work. We are going to try the warm bath tonight because that is when she gets so grouchy.
