Baby didn't poop for 8 days
Hello Sir / Madam
My baby is ~1.5 month old and not passed the stool since 8 days. But baby is passing urine as usual. No uneasiness noticed in baby. Baby is latching and sleeping well. However some web theory says that it is quite normal if not popped for two weeks . Still as a parent we are 😟 if this is a normal case or do we need some medication to the baby. or does mother need any specific food to be taken ( mother is already taking enough amount of nutrient good like fish, eggs, vegetable curry) provide your thoughts on this.

Hi.. it’s absolutely normal for a baby not to pass stools for 10 days if baby is on mother’s feed. Try giving frequent feeds. If the baby has not passsed stools till 10 days u can take ped consultation in person.
