DS has been a pretty good pooper until this weekend. Its now been like 36 hours and no poop. Not even a diaper streak. WWYT/WWYD. When would you call the pedi. DS is mostly BF. For the last 2 weeks he has gotten one 4oz bottle of formula per day. (carnation good start.) I was giving him the bottle so that I could pump one feeding for the freezer. I didn't give him any formula today or yesterday b/c i heard that it can be constipating. He's been eating more frequently this last week and has had plenty of wet diapers. He does seem to be in a bit of pain though. Screams out, turns red in the face, arches his back and looks like he's straining to go but no result. Also he has been passing gas fairly regularly. He's also had problems with reflux and gas since he was born. Took him off the zantac a few weeks ago b/c it wasn't working. I was going to give it a few weeks before trying another med just to see if he's outgrowing it. IDK this just all sucks.

we had the same issue at exactly 7 weeks old. the only thing that worked for us was 1 oz prune juice mixed with 1 oz water. this was per the suggestion of my dr. we also used the rectal thermometer to assist as well. HTH!
