Baby not passing motion
Hi Doctor,
My baby is 2 month 22 days old and her current weight is 5.6kg.
From last 12 she is not passing motion. After first 5 days we visited doctor they suggested to insert soap in baby anus. And after doing the same she passed motion. But again now from last 4 days she is not passing the motion. But she is passing gas and crying after passing gas. She is vomiting 2 to 3 times daily. Now what we can do to, please suggest. Is it safe to insert soap again and when this problem will resolve?

It is not safe to insert soap. Babies normally on breast feed pass stool once in 7-8 days
Next Steps
If baby is active, do not worry. After every feed, burp the baby for 10-15 minutes to reduce vomiting:
