Babies: 3 - 6 Months

Should I start worrying?

My almost 5 month old DS hasn't pooped in 5 days. He went from runny poops at least once a day to nothing. It stopped the day his teeth popped through, I know that supposedly has nothing to do with it but I'm just not sure. Should I start to worry? If I should start being proactive about him pooping what should I do?

TIA!

Re: Should I start worrying?

  • I do EBF. He seems a little uncomfortable but not too terribly bad. I'll wait a few more days. At what point should I be concerned?

  • Normal, but I'd try doing the bicycle with this legs to try to get it moving.

  • DS once went 8 days without pooping. If LO seems uncomfortable, try bicycling his legs, or a little bit of pear/apple juice.

  • Slightly different for us as we had started solids - but we are day 6 of no poop :(  We've tried lots of things.. pear juice is recommended
