Q.

My 4month old baby is exclusively breast milk fed. However, he has developed habit of passing stool once in a week. Normal stool, not constipated. this time its 8-9days and he hasn't pooped. It is ok or should I consult doctor? He is not at all cranky but keeps on passing gas. He even pees less.

A. Hello dear parent, babies upto 6 months of age can hold their poop for 7 days but beyond that period you must consult with your paediatric . To prevent this situation you must burp your baby after every feed by holding him in upright position and massage his back for 20 mins and 4 burps are necessary. Good luck and take care
