POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy11 months agoA. For a 3-month-old baby, having a day without a stool can be normal, as bowel habits can vary widely at this age. However, if you notice any of the following, it might be worth paying attention:
When to Be Concerned:
1. Signs of Discomfort: If your baby seems to be in pain, fusses excessively, or has a hard belly.
2. Change in Feeding: If your baby is feeding less or seems to be less active than usual.
3. Hard Stools: If the stool, when it does come, is hard or pellet-like.
4. Duration: If it extends to several days without a stool.
Tips for Relief:
Tummy Time: Encourage tummy time to help stimulate digestion.
Bicycle Legs: Gently move your baby’s legs in a bicycle motion to help relieve gas and stimulate bowel movement.
Warm Bath: A warm bath can help relax your baby and might promote bowel movement.
If constipation persists or if you have any concerns, it's best to consult your pediatrician for guidance.
