Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...I have a six weeks baby and she was pooping fine until 4 days ago she had stopped pooping I wonder if this is serious what can I do to help her poop. I have tried legs movement, water, massage the belly. Is this consider constipation?
Passing stool 10 times a day is equally normal as passing stool once in 10 days for a child of this age. You may relax and need not worry about that. Unless the stool is hard and pellet like, you need not consider it as constipation. No additional methods required. Continue breastfeeding the baby or give top feeds in case feed supplementation is being done.
