Poopie Question
Sorry - but I am new to this and I am not sure whats normal, but I don't think this is - so I am looking for advice.
When Alison was in the hospital and when we brought her home, she was a pooping machine - she was pooping about 6 times a day.
Well as time has gone by - she is 2 weeks old. It hasn't been as many times a day.
Well, now she hasn't pooped in over 24 hours.
Is there something that I can give her?
Or any advice?
TIA

Re: Poopie Question
She is fine My daughter wouldn't go for a day or two in the beginning (particularly when we switched formulas) - now she is more regular. My doctors told me that it was perfectly normal for newborns not to go for 3-4 days and not to be concerned. As long as she isn't in pain and not umcomfortable - there really isn't much you can do.
I was told not to give DD any water (because it doesn't have any nutrients) but on one occasin we did the thermometer trick after 2 days that she hadn't pooped and it worked. My doctor doesn't recommend this method though because the baby must learn to go potty on his/her own - but as i first time mom - i myself panicked.
Give it some more time, bicyle her legs if you can - im sure she will go soon.

This is normal. Sometimes Ryan would go 2x a day and then sometimes he would go every other day. As long as she doesnt seem to be in pain or constipated I think she is fine.

Same here. I'm sure the baby is fine. If it is 2 or 3 days and still no poop and the baby is uncomfortable then call your ped. But I wouldnt worry at all right now.

Isabella was like this too, it's normal. She really only started going daily last week(11 weeks). Before that it ranged from every other day to 2 days.
