#asktheexpert My baby is 2 months and 4 days old. He hasn't passed the stool for the last 5 days but is passing gas. I know it's normal for babies to not poop everyday but I want to know what is the normal range? like how many days a child can go without passing stool? Is there anything to get worried about?

A. Constipation in Babies less than 1 year is very common and more in formula fed babies and also when initially the semi solid food has been started after 6 mgdonths . you can give bonnisan drops and some enzyme preparations in proper dose suggested by doctor and cow's milk should be avoided before 1 year of age . Medications are required but it should be given only in medical supervision .
