Q.
#AskTheExpert Hi Dr. My baby girl who's 25 days old hasn't passed stool for 2 days. Her urine output is 5 - 6 times per day, weight gain is 250 grams per week. Is this a matter to be worried about? Anything that we can do from our end to ensure stool output? Thanks a lot

ExpertDr Disha PatelAyurvedic Physician3 years agoA. nothing to worry about it, typically breastfed babies will not poop as often because their bodies absorb most of the breast milk. going even a week without having a bowl movement is ok. weight gain is also good

What if she doesn't poop even after a week? What can we do then? Any home remedies for it or should we consult a paediatrician?

VishruthaMom of 2 children3 years agoA. For gas problem make sure you burp baby after every feed. Walk around with baby's head on your shoulder and supporting her neck gently bounce. It is fine for breastfed babies to not poop for upto 5 days . Give tummy time daily for a few minutes multiple times. Gently massage your baby's tummy with castor oil with fingers and keep a warm water towel for few minutes. Cycle baby's legs with your hands gently after every feed. Also keep baby upright in standing position holding with your hands for support few minutes after feed. This helps the poop to travel down with gravity.
If you have tried everything and baby is still crying uncontrollably for a long time, then you can give gripe water or bonnisan or colicaid drops occasionally and not daily.
