Poor DD

My poor DD has not gone to the bathroom since Monday. I called the pedi and she said that is normal with her age, 6 weeks. That they conserve more and it just takes longer to digest. I know she's having pain. She lets out a lot of gas, but no poo. I'm about to give her a suppository. Have any of you done this to your DC before or anything else to make them go?

 TIA

    I have with Ridge but he was like 10 months when I gave him his first.

    Have you tried stimulating with a rectal thermometer?  Sometimes it helps and gives them the "directional" location they need to push.  Or even rubbing her belly after a warm bath and doing her legs like a bicycle?  There are lots of tips on the internet.

    Hope she feels better soon!

    I did the thermometer the other night and yesterday morning, nothing. I give her a warm bath every night, and rubbed her belly. I did the bicycle this afternoon and she did let out a bunch of gas and has been all night, but still no poop.

    Aww so sorry.  yep this will happen and it is normal.  What we found works best is tummy massage - like circular motions clockwise and then sweeping motions downward on the tummy.  usually works like clockwork (no pun intended).
