Dr. Vaibhav jainFather of 2 children3 years agoA. it's nromal for five mnths age. It is absolutely normal for the baby to not pass motion daily even for up to one week if the baby is on breastfeeding and it's not unhealthy. Check for pee counts 6-8/day is fine . if it is above one week or baby s in trouble then you can apply glycerine suppository for easy motion of the baby . no syrup for medicine is given orally till 2 years of age for constipation by yourself as it's not safe .

NikithaMom of 2 children3 years agoA. hello breastfed babies are rarely constipated and if constipated then you can add few drops of prune juice to the breast milk and give the same for the baby which can help and any concern then it is better to check with your doctor and your doctor will be able to guide you
