Babies: 0 - 3 Months

how long without a poop?

My son did not poop today, it's been almost 36 hours without one.  He's 9 weeks old, we do a combo of nursing/pumped milk/formula - most of the food he eats is formula but his poops usually are that runny/mustardy poop.  Our doctor told us to switch from Similac Advanced to Enfamil Gentlease (which we started yesterday) to help with his gas.  How long can he go without a poop before we need to be seriously worried?  Thanks!

Re: how long without a poop?

  • agree -- my baby girl had a horrible time getting the hang of pooping, - push & relax at the same time, and would only be pooping like once or twice a week, but soon figured it out and is probably 2 times a day or so.  If it isn't hard, there's no need to worry :)

  • When dd was 1-3 weeks she went 2 weeks without poop. Our pedi said as long as we were getting 8 wet diapers not to be concerned , now she is more regular but still only every other day
