In infants, bowel movements can vary greatly depending on their diet. For babies who are breastfed, it’s normal for them to go several days without passing stool, as breast milk is highly digestible, and the baby may absorb most of it. However, if your baby is on formula milk, constipation can sometimes occur.
If the baby seems comfortable, is feeding well, and has no signs of discomfort like excessive crying, bloating, or straining, then it might just be a temporary phase. However, if the baby is uncomfortable, irritable, or showing signs of pain during feeding or passing gas, it could be a sign of constipation or another digestive issue, and you should consult a pediatrician.
A pediatrician may recommend safe methods like gentle tummy massages, warm baths, or adjusting the baby’s diet. In rare cases, the doctor might advise a mild stool softener or laxative for infants, but this should only be done under medical supervision. Always check with your doctor to ensure that there is no underlying issue.
