No poop?!

We haven't had a poop check in for awhile. Now that most of us are starting solids, how's pooping changed?

My LO used to have BMs a few times a day but now he hasn't gone for 4 days. I'm trying not to worry but I can tell he's getting uncomfortable. I gave him some puréed prunes and oatmeal tonight to see if I can get things moving.

Anyone else dealing with similar issues? Any tricks to help LO go?

Re: No poop?!

  • We had similar issues when we started solids. Went from poop at almost every diaper change to once every ~3 days. When she initially started she went 4 days and seemed really uncomfortable so after trying prunes, water, lots of bicycling I gave in and resorted to a glycerine suppository which got things moving in about 15 minutes and resulted in a happy baby. Haven't had to give one since, she seems to be adjusting to solid foods.

  • Murph went from a once a week bm pooper to going almost everyday now with solids. He definitely struggles to poop now and I feel bad for him. We have been putting prune juice in his bottles the last couple days and it hasn't really done anything.
  • I started solids 2 days ago and are on day 3 of no poop. She has gone 3 or 4 days without pooping before and she gets really uncomfortable. I am no help since I don't know how to make her poop. I have heard pears are good.
  • She was pooping once everyday that took 3 months to get to and now its like wishing on a star hoping for a poop!!
  • @njbabymama LOL at the three baths.

    DS used to poop multiple times a day.  He's become less consistent since starting solids.  Sometimes it's once a day and other times he wont go for a couple days and then go 2-3 times in 1-2 days.

  • LO has been on solids for a week. He went from going 1x day to 2x the past few days. I am sure once we introduce bananas that may cause him to go less frequently as he is more prone to constipation. Offering water helps keep him more regular.
  • The longest stretch since starting solids has been 5 days. He didn't seem too uncomfortable, but there was a bit of blood and discomfort when he finally went. I'll take newborn poo back anytime!

  • LO pooped once a day max pre-solids. Post-solids, he poops 2 - 3 times a day.
  • Pre solids dd was up to 3 days without poop. She managed to poop just before we resorted to a suppository. Literally the hour before. Now its 1-2 days, depending on the food.

    Being with my LO rocks! DD born 6/13/14.

  • We've been hit or miss in the poop department until this week.  There's been times K wouldn't poop for 4 days and then water or prunes would get things moving again.  Carrots are definitely crazy poop.  It looks like it just explodes through her system so we stopped giving them to her LOL.  She LOVES bananas but even the tiniest bit will stop her up so we've limited them and try to be sure to feed her prunes on any day we've given her nanas.  Oatmeal every day has seemed to help reguate her and she's now routinely pooping twice a day.  She also loved the pears but that caused diarrhea like poop so it's on the limited list.
    Had a couple slightly greenish poops this week which was a prelude to her first cold.  Now that she's full blown sick her poop is back to normal color wise.
