Infant not passing poop

2020-10-10 11:53:17
Hi, my baby is 5 months old n she is on complete breast feed. She did not pass the poop last 6 days n she is passing urine and no vomiting. Her tummy is not tight. If she did not pass poop can I give Laxopeg kid sachet 1/2 sachet daily once. Please suggest if this medication is OK or any other alternative

Its Its absolutely normal as baby is on complete BF... Sometimes baby may take 7to 10 days to pass stool... No need to give laxopeg sachet... Once u start complementary feeding after 6 completed months it will be normal...
Next Steps
you can give colicaid drops if needed...

Not necessary. Wait for 2 more days before starting medications

Continue breast feeding, do not worry. Baby on breast feed, pass stool once in 6-8 days, so wait
