ExpertDr. Pandurang sawantPaediatrician1 Year agoA. don't worry
Constipation is quite common in babys less than one year of age
No need to worry for this
Give tummy times frequently in a day time
Do massage everyday and specially tummy massage more.
breast Feed ur baby as per demand
It will help
Burp properly at least 10 min or till baby take 4 burp
Keep hydration well
Baby should pass minimum urine 6-8 times per day
If baby is feeling discomfort and crying inconsolably then
Need to do rectal stimulation, apply some drops of oil over rectal area
It will help
If it doesn't help then
Need rectal glycerine enema
Or some laxative
for which u need to visit once with pediatrician.

Sai Prasanthi R LMom of a 11 yr 7 m old boy1 Year agoA. Hello dear parent! Exclusively breastfed babies sometimes do not pass stools even for a week. It is normal as long as baby is healthy and active, showing no symptoms of discomfort there is no need to worry. Consult your doctor for further assistance. Keep Babyhug tummy roll on handy
