How often should they poop?
Ima a FTM and Its been over 24hrs since my 12 wk old DD has last pooped, should I be concerned? She has a lot of wet diapers though so no problem there..
@Lexy0916 I always worried about how often my dd (12 wks) pooped! She usually poops every other day and my dr. said as long as the poop is soft, it doesn't matter how long they go between poops!
@Lexy0916 BF babies can go up to 14 days w/o a poop bc they can use ALL the BM nutrients. Also, BM babies can poop n every diaper bc BM is a natural laxative. FF babies can go 2-3X/day or up to 3 days per poop. It isn't constipation till its hard & looks like pebbles. If LO seems uncomfortable, u can add 1/2 oz water extra per bottle of F, u can give 1/2 & 1/2 2oz bottle of apple/pear/prune juice either mixed w a feeding or between feedings 2X/day, or for immediate relief u can do a liquid suppository ("Pedia-Lax ages 2-11 yrs" is the brand I have used on both my babies. Works n under 2 min, easy to use, prelubricated, sold n a 6 ok @ Walmart, 4ml of liquid per suppository). When my dd didn't poop for 6 days, & stayed up crying for 18 hrs per day of those last 2 days, I googled a bunch of info. GL!
@PandaFish87 The juice should b 1/2 juice (1oz) & 1/2 water (1oz)
My guy poops once a day usually.
@mcgeelisha DS poops once or twice a day, but sometimes he doesn't go for 24 hours. It's perfectly normal.
thanks ladies, my daughter is formula fed and breast fed -- She takes more breast milk then formula though. If she doesnt poop by Monday morning, I'm going to try the juice.
OMG she finally pooped and it was a big one! First time I've been so excited to see poop lol
@Lexy0916 I know the feeling
