My baby is passing stool only by using Dulcolax suppositories which I have to use in every 3 days. Without suppositories he is not passing stool from past 10 days. I don't want to use suppositories in every 3 days. Plz tell me what should I do to make him poop naturally ?

A. Hello,typically breastfed babies will not poop as often as formula fed babies because their bodies absorb most of the breast milk. going even a week without having a bowl movement is ok. Less than six month formula fed babies go more often, but my 4 month old still only goes about every 3 days.formula-fed child has been a no-go for more than five days, talk to your pediatrician. Avoid using suppository ..wait for 6-7 days Gently press and massage the lower left side of his abdomen, do bicycling motion of legs onto and away from his abdomen this may stimulate the muscles to contract and move matter for evacuation.
