Constipated six week old

2017-04-06 15:25:17
My six week old baby that is currently exclusively breast-fed has not pooped in a week is it something I should be concerned about because it just doesn't seem normal to me she's not fussy she's only gassy but she seems content for the most part and doesn't grant or act like she's in pain

As long as she isn't uncomfortable u don't really need to do anything about it. As for the gases u can give her colic medicine and she should be fine.
