It seems like my daughter can't poop without me helping to stimulate it 😕 I used a q-tip with Vaseline yesterday bc she hadn't went in almost 2 days and she went a lot. And since then, she hasn't went anymore. I used a q-tip again earlier but it didn't make her go. She has another pedi appt Monday though, so I plan on telling them then. I just don't really know if I should do anything else until then.

My little one was also formula fed and had issues. What was the poop like? Hard/chalky? If you tried stimulating and nothing came out she's probably fine and doesn't have enough to poop yet (not a medical professional, just going off personal experience. Everyone is different!). We used enfamil gentlease and reguline for baby's finicky tummy; gentlease to help with his throwing up, and reguline to soften his stools. He is just on reguline now but poops aren't as soft as my older one's was at this stage. Less so because of baby food. Breast milk has a natural laxative in it, formula does not. Pediatrician may suggest adding just a teaspoon or so of laxative to the formula as mine did. We never followed through with that though, so that's the extent of my experience. Hope I helped some, even if it's just reassurance that it's normal. And don't forget, you can always call a nurse help line at the hospital at any time.
@annaerandolph, yes my god son had to get his formula changed 7 times because it would make him constipated and he wouldn't poop for days. Now he has problems with food too. I hope it is just a formula thing for you, or they tell you she's fine and not constipated. Good luck at your appointment! 😊
@beebaby, that's what I was wondering just because everything is so new. I knew breastfed babies could go a while without pooping but I didn't know about bottle fed. But I will ask her pedi about it Monday so that maybe she won't get constipated 😕@taviap,
Do you breastfeed? It's normal for breastfed babies not to go for up to a week. Well with breast milk in general either from a bottle or from nursing.
Went To My Appointment Today & The Doctor Put A Q-Tip In My Booty Hole 🙊
Anyone know what I can do for Tinley? She hasn't pooped in days. She will grunt and try so hard to but nothing ever comes out. I have been trying to get her to eat more baby food and take less milk because I think the milk is what is causing this problem. I have gave her prunes, juice, and even used a q-tip on her butt, but nothing still doesn't come out. My mom let her soak in the tub a little bit ago while I went and picked up my little sister and then she used a q-tip again but still nothing.
My August baby decided she wanted to be a May baby like her big sister. Madison Noelle was born on Tuesday, May 24 at 3:50pm, weighing 2lbs, 13oz and 14". She was born at 27 weeks and has a long road ahead of her. Every day she has been getting stronger and amazing everyone. Please keep us in your prayers, my family and I have a long road ahead of us. Congratulations to everyone and I wish you all wonderful pregnancies and deliveries! ??❤️
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
@turnturnsip, it's okay 😂😂 her poop was very soft when it came out, there was just a lot of it. She's still on regular enfamil newborn right now, so maybe she's okay! Hopefully everything will go great at her appt tomorrow :)
