Mom of a 4 yr 8 m old girl4 years ago

Q.

#asktheexpert My 2 month old daughter hasn't pooped since 6 days. She is feeding enough - most of the time breastfeed and once a day formula. Should we be concerned? What (and when) should we do something to induce motions?

A. hii...breastfed babies tend to absorb most of the milk as nutrition and tend to poop much lesser sometimes, even once in ten days. This, however, isn’t true for formula-fed infants. They can have bowel movements between 3 to 4 times a day as well. If your baby is exclusively breastfed, try to change your dietary intake to see if something you are consuming is leading to constipation in your child. For a formula fed baby, changing the brand of milk can sometimes help.
