my baby has not passed the stool for the last 8 days and wants suggestions.

A. If your baby hasn't passed stool for 8 days, it could be due to constipation, especially if they are on formula or starting solids. For breastfed babies, it's sometimes normal to go several days without pooping. You can try gently massaging the belly, doing bicycle leg movements, giving a warm bath, or offering small sips of warm water (if over 6 months). If your baby is on solids, include fiber-rich foods like prunes, pears, and papaya. If your baby seems uncomfortable, has a hard belly, or is straining, consult a pediatrician immediately.
