ExpertDr Disha PatelAyurvedic Physician7 years agoA. Better to consult your paedritician before giving any suppository.. ,typically breastfed babies will not poop as often as formula fed babies because their bodies absorb most of the breast milk. going even a week without having a bowl movement is ok. Less than six month formula fed babies go more often, but my 4 month old still only goes about every 3 days.formula-fed child has been a no-go for more than five days, talk to your pediatrician. Gently press and massage the lower left side of his abdomen, do bicycling motion of legs onto and away from his abdomen this may stimulate the muscles to contract and move matter for evacuation.

ExpertDr. Swapnil SaxenaAyurvedic Physician7 years agoA. Hello. no not until advised by your doctor 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.

SantoMom of a 8 yr 8 m old girl7 years agoA. Gently rub your baby’s tummy, making circles in clockwise direction. Take care not to press too hard. Try to feed baby in elevated position. Burp well baby in between feeds and burp well after every feed. Give tummy time to baby if baby is comfortable. Just try to give warm compress over tummy for instant relief. Just soak a towel in warm water and squeeze water and gently press over tummy. Avoid gassy foods if your breastfeeding. Do cycling exercises to baby its very effective.
