hi mam, my 5 months baby has not pooped for 8 days. urine output is good. what to do for pooping

A. If your 5-month-old baby hasn’t pooped for 8 days but is urinating well and seems comfortable, it might be mild constipation. You can try gently massaging their tummy in circular motions, giving plenty of tummy time, and offering small amounts of diluted fruit juices like pear or prune (after consulting your pediatrician). Avoid giving any laxatives or home remedies without medical advice. If the baby becomes uncomfortable, has a swollen belly, vomits, or hasn’t pooped for more days, see your pediatrician promptly for proper guidance.
