POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy7 months agoA. Yes, it is generally okay for a 13-day-old baby to skip a day of pooping, especially if the baby is passing gas, urinating well, and otherwise seems comfortable and healthy. This can happen for several reasons:
Possible Causes:
Immature Digestive System:
Newborns are still adjusting to digesting milk, and their bowel habits can vary.
Breastfed Babies:
Breastfed babies may poop several times a day or skip a day or two since breast milk is easily digested and leaves little waste.
Formula-Fed Babies:
Formula-fed babies might have more regular bowel movements but can also occasionally skip a day.
Signs to Watch:
If your baby shows any of these signs, consult a pediatrician:
Discomfort or Crying: If your baby seems fussy or in pain. Bloated Belly: Swelling or tightness in the abdomen. Hard Stools: Signs of constipation (hard, pellet-like stools when they do poop). Lack of Poop Beyond 3 Days: If they go more than 3 days without pooping. Other Symptoms: Vomiting, fever, or reduced urine output. What You Can Do: Tummy Massage: Gently rub your baby’s tummy in a clockwise motion to help stimulate bowel movements. Bicycle Legs: Move your baby’s legs in a cycling motion to encourage bowel activity. Monitor Feeding: Ensure the baby is feeding well and getting enough fluids (breast milk or formula).
As long as your baby is passing gas, urinating well, and doesn’t seem distressed, it’s likely normal. If you’re unsure or worried, it’s always a good idea to consult your pediatrician.
