What Causes Lack Of Bowel Movement In Infant?
Question: Hi doc , my child 2 months old didnt had stools from past 4 days. can you please suggest wat shall we do?
Brief Answer:
It's not constipation - Do not worry
Detailed Answer:
Hi....it is quite normal for this aged babies - not to pass stools sometimes even for 7 days. This I'd not constipation. If your baby is being formula fed, the chances of not passing motion daily increases.
Thus is not constipation.
If your baby is feeding well and not vomiting, nothing to worry about.
I suggest you wait for another 3 days before getting back to us. But if the baby starts refusing feeds or has green colored vomiting, she needs medical attention.
