HELP!!😥

My little guy has not made a bowel movement for about 3 days. He’ll be 6 months on the 11th. I read that if they’re six months you can try water? Should I even be considering that? I’ve already called the nurse/peds but waiting to hear back from them.

Also he shows strain/tensing up periodically through the day :(

This happened to my little dude when he was only 2 months old. My pediatrician said to give prune or pear juice (they have baby juice at the grocery store- already appropriately diluted!) and I gave him like an ounce and a few hours later… BOOM.

(Boom blowout poop… not anything bad!)

My baby didn't poop for over a week and our pediatrician said it's pretty normal to have irregular bowel movements. He said once they hit 10 days they're very concerned.

Hey, I’ve had this before with both my babies where they didn’t have a bowel movement for 3-4 days. My suggestion (from the pediatrician) is to: 1. Massage babies tummy and do bicycle kicks a few times in the day 2. Give a bath 3. Apply a Vaseline type of jelly around their bum Be strong, there’s a big blowout coming after this constipation 😅

Give him apple baby food or prunes.

My lo used to be exclusively breast milk, the ped said not to worry if it doesn’t happen for a while. But now that his is drinking formula he goes between 1-2 a day to once every three days. How are you feeding him?

Probiotics. Give 3 drops of Biogaia in his food/formula. He'll be bustin' diapers in no time.

Girl I was on the exact same boat this morning and I contacted the clinic but guess what 😂 she just made a huge num2 so don’t panic!!!

@Sarrah hmm okay, we are on formula full time, with that his movements are typically 1-2 days apart.

Thank you mamas so so much❣️❣️ I bought him mommy’s bliss prune drops and have been doing regular bike kicks. He’s currently very unhappy but I’m hoping he goes tonight or tomorrow!!

Definitely give your child one to 2 ounces of water or apple juice as soon as possible! helps every time I promise!

If he's breastfed it can be normal, if he's not, I'm not sure, if he's uncomfortable or straining, give an oz or apple or prune juice

Try the I love you massage! Worked for my baby!

@Melissa yess prune or pear solves the problems for sure lol my oldest when he was a baby and even now he is 2 and still has constipation issues and that always solved the issues lol.
