Infants sometimes may pass stools at 8-10 days interval . It is harmless and doesn't require intervention . . You can wait for another three days . If your baby is on formula or mixed feeds and the stools are habitually uard or pellet like , try adding half spoon sugar to formula feeds till stools are soft .
Next Steps
Consult your paediatrician over the phone
Health Tips
Avoid putting suppositories on your own as you may injure the anal area .
