A. Hello. no it's a harsh laxative can cause severe loose motions Babies can pass motion 4 to 5 times in a day to no motion for a week or ten days too. Constipation is rare in infants who are exclusively breast fed. As mother's milk is all what your baby needs, there is almost nothing left to poop out. Babies who have not started with solid food can go for up to a week or ten days without a poopy diaper..so do not worry. Just give your baby ample amount of tummy time. Burp him well after every feed. Aid him in doing cycling motion of his legs..this will release the gases and comfort him.
