How many dirty nappies daily? How do i help him poop?

Escardoe

He poop once daily and on a dry nappy, he will not just do it till i change him, i notice that and then i keep changing to make him do it, he seem uncomfortable so i'd have to change thinking thats what he wanna do, now he havent done it for d day and he seem like he want to but he cant, iv changed enough for d day waiting for that but he keep pushing and nothing yet, how do i help him, i dont wanna deal with a constipated baby.

How old is he? Is he formula or breastfed? My LO is breastfed and 6 weeks and the doctor said it's normal for them to poop only once a week! She goes about once a day or every other day

My LO is 3 weeks and he poops maybe once a week. Don't worry about it unless his poop comes out as little pebbles that means he's constipated

This exactly. My LO started pooping once every 4-5 days at about 2 weeks. Our pediatrician said she's not constipated. As long as LO's getting enough wet diapers and eating and gaining well, it's no biggie.

Yeah i give him gas drops before feeds, thank u for the advice.

My LO goes once a day. My DD2 went about twice a week at this age.

I must have a big pooper on my hands! My 4 week old goes between every feeding, so 8-10 times a day! Dr said babies could go through 10-15diaperrs a day and thatst normal

My PD recommended taking a rectal temp with plenty of vacceline to stimulate the area when my EBF baby hadn't gone for 5 days. You could call your doctor and see what they suggest.

Oh thank you ladies, he's gat daily routines for the poops, so once its time, he begin to struggle to push it out, iv also notice the poop is a bit thicker than before, what could be the reason? Or is it still normal?
