A. If your baby hasn't pooped for two days and often experiences constipation, it could be due to a low-fiber diet or formula feeding. Foods like rice, porridge, apples, and carrots can sometimes make stools firmer. You can try offering fiber-rich fruits like pears, prunes, or papaya, and ensure she gets enough fluids, including warm water (if above 6 months). A gentle tummy massage and bicycle leg movements can help stimulate bowel movements. If your baby seems comfortable, active, and feeding well, there’s usually no need to worry. However, if she shows signs of discomfort, excessive straining, a hard belly, or blood in the stool, consult a pediatrician for further guidance.
