She has not pooped since Saturday. We are seeing the pedi this afternoon. She is FF but 3 days is still a long time.
I'm glad that you're going to see the pedi if you're concerned.
I thought my LO was constipated on Saturday because he hadn't pooped all day. I knew this is normal for formula fed babies, which he is, but after having extremely regular poopy diapers all day long since he was born, I was a bit worried. Turns out it was just his system getting used to his new iron fortified formula. His bowel movements are now fewer and farther between and they look and smell waaay different than before. But according to everything I've read, they are completely normal for a formula fed baby.
I hope you get some answers and that your LO starts pooping again soon!

My pedi said sometimes they just don't poop for days but if you're really worried, do a rectal temp. It usually stimulates them to have a bowel movement. However I'd still mention it to the pedi just to ease your mind

Re: constipated baby
what makes you think little one is constipated?
