And only one in the past 72 hours.  Do I call the pedi?

    I was told if it is a BF baby it's 5 days with no poop to be considered constipated and 3 days if FF baby with no poop.  I don't know what you use but I'd probably wait one more day if I were you.

    I would call. Better safe than sorry. I was told there is never too much poop for a BF baby so I'm sure too little would be worrisome.

    My LO just went through the same thing last week.  My pedi said LO's do this from time to time and that she would self-regulate in a few days.  Sure enough, after a "poopsplosion" on the 3rd day, she is back on schedule without issue.  Yes 

    My pedi did say to try the rectal thermometer if I hadn't seen anything by the end of the 3rd day.  Apparently it gives them the urge to push.  Also, some diluted prune juice (50% juice/50% water) was okay to try as well.  GL!

    Use a rectal thermometer and stimulate her bum a bit...and try some Pear Nectar--50% juice, 50% water...that's what we've been doing with LO since about 2m old and it helps a LOT

    I called Pedi this morning for the same issue and he recommended 2 oz of straight water twice during the day and said to also put vaseline on a rectal thermometer and put the tip in and out of his bum 10 times.

    Luckily the first dose of 2oz of water worked and I didn't have to do the rectal (kinda scared me).  He hadn't pooped in 2.5 days but within 2 hours he was pushing and had a nice explosion!

    My doc told me it's perfectly okay for babies to go up to 7 days without a single poop, though they *really* shouldn't.

    DS's record is only 3 days, but that 3rd day is just poopsplosion after poopsplosion. Not a fun day, haha.
