#asktheexpert my baby doesn't pass stool everyday. it creates gas. and smells bad. 3months old. what should I do to pass stool every day?

Question

Accepted Answer

Stool pattern of small children changes from time to time. 
It can be more than 7 times per day also and sometimes the child will not pass stool for 10 days also. 
The most important thing is the consistency of the stool and if it is Semi solid to solid or semi liqxuid then there is no need to worry about the frequency as well as colour as well as the smell of the stool 
Also straining and crying while passing urine and stool is very norxmal.
 the crying of the child is due to colic pain and not due to constipation

Answer

hello the breastfeed baby will have less waste and can go without passing motion even for a week and the baby is not passing motion even after a week then you may check with your doctor and she can guide you accordingly and otherwise nothing to worry
